Question

An atom is_______

Answer

Atoms are defined as the smallest unit of matter. They make up everything that takes up space, whether it is living or nonliving. A molecule is more than one atom combined, and therefore is not the same as a single atom. Energy is not made of atoms because it does not take up space.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Where are the protons and neutrons located in an atom?

Answer

Atoms are made of smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons exist in the atom's nucleus, while electrons exist in the electron cloud. The answer is not cells because cells are a building block of organisms and are made of atoms.

Question

Which answer choice is the smallest?

Answer

Electrons are the smallest. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and Neutrons are roughly the same size and have a mass of one amu (atomic mass unit). Electrons are much smaller and have a mass of 0 amu.

Question

What is the overall charge of the atom in the image shown?

Answer

The overall charge of the atom is neutral. The atom has two positively charged protons and two negatively charged electrons which result in a net charge of zero. The neutron does not have a charge.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which answer choice is the smallest?

Answer

Atoms are the smallest. Molecules are two or more atoms. Elements are many of the same type of atom. Cells are often referred to as "the smallest unit of life" because all living things are made of cells. However, cells are made of smaller particles like atoms and molecules as well.
