Question

which best describes the location of protons in an atom? scattered throughout the atom in electron shells in the nucleus in orbital clouds elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have: the same atomic mass the same number of neutrons similar nuclear charges similar electron configurations

Explanation:

Protons are sub - atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which means similar electron configurations.

Answer:

First question: C. In the nucleus
Second question: D. Similar electron configurations
