Question
select all the correct images. select the atomic models that belong to the same element.
Brief Explanations
To determine which atomic models belong to the same element, we use the concept that atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (atomic number). Let's analyze each model:
- Top - left model: Protons (P) = 2, Neutrons (N) = 3, Electrons (E) = 2.
- Top - right model: Protons (P) = 2, Neutrons (N) = 2, Electrons (T) = 2 (assuming "T" is a typo for electron, as charge should balance protons).
- Middle model: Protons (P) = 1, Neutrons (N) = 1, Electrons (E) = 1.
- Bottom - left model: Protons (P) = 2, Neutrons (N) = 1, Electrons (T) = 2 (assuming "T" is electron).
- Bottom - right model: Protons (P) = 3, Neutrons (N) = 2, Electrons (T) = 2.
The top - left, top - right, and bottom - left models have 2 protons (atomic number 2), so they belong to the same element (helium, considering the proton count). The middle has 1 proton (hydrogen), and the bottom - right has 3 protons (lithium).
