Question

Read the false statement.

In an atom, protons and electrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by neutrons.

Which option rewords the false statement so it is true?

In an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons.
In an atom, electrons and photons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by neutrons.
In an atom, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by protons.
In an atom, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by photons.

Answer 1

The answer is, "In an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons."

So the false statement that is In an atom, protons and electrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by neutrons, can be made true by rewording it as, "In an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct statement is in an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 subatomic particles that are present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons carry positive charge and are found inside the nucleus of an atom.

Electrons carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus in the orbits.

Neutrons does not carry any charge which means they are neutral species. They are found inside the nucleus of an atom.

Thus, the correct statement is in an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons.
