9. an atom is composed of many components. some of these parts are moving very rapidly and some are relatively still. which of the following atomic components moves the most? a. protons b. neutrons c. electrons d. nucleus 10. an atom is composed of many components, which can be a variety of sizes. which of the following atomic components is the largest? f. proton g. neutron h. electron i. nucleus
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For question 9: Electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus at high - speeds. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and are relatively still compared to electrons. The nucleus itself is not a fast - moving component.
- For question 10: The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are sub - atomic particles, and an electron is much smaller than a proton or neutron. The nucleus, which contains multiple protons and neutrons, is the largest among the given components.
Answer:
- C. electrons
- I. nucleus
