Question

the diagram below is the bohr model of an atom. which best describes this atom? it has 6 electrons. it has a positive charge. it has 6 valence electrons. it has a full outermost energy level.

Explanation:

Step1: Count electrons

Count the number of - symbols which represent electrons. There are 6 electrons.

Step2: Analyze charge

The number of protons (+ symbols) and electrons (- symbols) is the same, so the atom is neutral, not positively - charged.

Step3: Determine valence electrons

The outermost shell has 4 electrons, so it does not have 6 valence electrons.

Step4: Check outermost energy level

The outermost shell can hold 8 electrons and it has 4, so it is not full.

Answer:

It has 6 electrons.
