1. In Bohr's model of the atom, where are the electrons and protons located? (1 point)A.The electrons move around the protons, which are at the center of the atom.
B.The electrons and protons move throughout the atom.
C.The electrons occupy fixed positions around the protons, which are at the center of the atom.
D.The electrons and protons are located throughout the atom, but they are not free to move.

Answer 1

Bohr’s model is also known as planetary model, because electrons are located in several orbits with different radius. Electrons move along their orbits, similar to how planets do. There is no intersection between one orbit and another – an electron can be in one orbit OR in the other one, never in both. Protons are located in the nucleus, as well as neutrons. The nucleus is in the center of the atom. Protons and neutrons stay in the nucleus in fixed positions. So this corresponds with A option.
