Question

Which answer choice is NOT part of 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.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of _________ in an atom.

Answer

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in an atom. If the number of protons changes, it is a different element and therefore has a different atomic number.

Question

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

Screen shot 2020 05 19 at 2.34.16 pm

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.
