An atom consists mostly of empty space with —
We started our Chemistry unit with the chart of Super Duper Importance shown below. This chart tells use the mass, location, and charge of the three subatomic particles. Looking at the chart, what tells you that the mass of the atom is located in the nucleus?
The two particles that have all of the mass are in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons are added together to determine the mass of the atom. The electrons do not count in the mass of the atom.
The electrons occupy the electron cloud, which is mostly empty space. The nucleus, because it contains all the mass is very dense.
Which statement correctly describes the location and charge of the electrons in an atom?
A. The electrons are inside the nucleus and have no charge.
B. The electrons are outside the nucleus and have no charge.
C. The electrons are inside the nucleus and have a negative charge.
D. The electrons are outside the nucleus and have a negative charge.

An atom consists mostly of empty space with —
neutrons and protons orbiting a cloud of electrons
protons orbiting a dense nucleus made of electrons and neutrons
electrons and protons orbiting a cloud of neutrons
electrons orbiting a dense nucleus made of protons and neutrons
neutrons and protons orbiting a cloud of electrons
that is incorrect
I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is:
electrons orbiting a dense nucleus made of protons and neutrons
