Question
hobie draws the following model of a carbon atom. which change to the model would improve its accuracy?
move all of the particles so that they are evenly spaced.
move the protons and electrons to a small space in the center.
move each neutron so it is next to a proton.
move the protons and neutrons to a small space in the center.
In an atom, protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus (a small space in the center), and electrons orbit around the nucleus. The model in the question has protons and neutrons not all in the center. Moving protons and neutrons to a small space in the center would make the model more accurate as per the atomic structure concept.
