Question

rutherfords atomic theory states that the atom is a diffuse cloud surrounding a small, dense nucleus. identify which particle is in the nucleus.
a

b neutron

c electron

d free radical

Explanation:

The Rutherford atomic theory describes the atom as having a small, dense nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Electrons are in the diffuse cloud (electron cloud) surrounding the nucleus, and free radicals are not part of the atomic nucleus structure. So the particles in the nucleus are protons and neutrons (assuming the options include proton/neutron; from the visible option B is neutron, which is in the nucleus).

Answer:

B. neutron
