Question
question 4 an electric current is trying to move through an atom. how do protons and electrons impact the movement of electricity?
Protons are in the nucleus and are stationary. Electrons in the outer - shell can move freely and are responsible for the flow of electric current. Protons, being positively charged, attract electrons but do not directly contribute to the movement of electricity through the atom as they are fixed in the nucleus.
