Question

Which of the following are correct statements about atomic structure?Check all that apply.A.Electrons are hidden deep in the nucleus of an atom.B.The valence shell is the outermost layer of electrons in an atom.C.There are two electrons in every electron shell.D.Electrons are located in layers around the nucleus.

Answer 1

B. The valence shell is the outermost layer of electrons in an atom.

D. Electrons are located in layers around the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation

Atomic structure refers to the structure of an atom comprising a nucleus (center) in which the protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (neutral) are present. The negatively charged particles called electrons revolve around the center of the nucleus.

Therefore, among the given statements, the correct statements about atomic structure are:

B. The valence shell is the outermost layer of electrons in an atom.

D. Electrons are located in layers around the nucleus.
