Question

simulation
in this model, the orange x and dotted circles represent the parts of an atom. use the model to answer the questions below. record any observations that help you answer the guiding question.
1 start by adding one proton, one neutron, and one electron to the model. where is each subatomic particle located in the atom?
center \t\taround the outside

Explanation:

To determine the location of subatomic particles: protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus (center) of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus (around the outside). So for the given question, when adding one proton, one neutron, and one electron:

• Proton: Center (as it's part of the nucleus)
• Neutron: Center (as it's part of the nucleus)
• Electron: Around the outside (as it orbits the nucleus)

Answer:

• Proton: Center
• Neutron: Center
• Electron: Around the outside
