Question

roberto creates an animation titled \flying through an atom.\ the animation makes it seem as if the viewer passes all the way through an atom, starting from one side, then through the atoms center, and then leaving through the other side. what is the best description of the order of events in the animation? the viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the protons, and then the nucleus. the viewer travels through the nucleus, then the electron cloud, and then the nucleus again. the viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the neutrons, and then the protons. the viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the nucleus, and then the electron cloud again.

Explanation:

An atom has an electron - cloud surrounding the nucleus. When passing through an atom starting from one side, through the center and out the other side, one would first pass through the electron - cloud, then the nucleus (which contains protons and neutrons), and then through the electron - cloud again.

Answer:

The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the nucleus, and then the electron cloud again.
