Question

An atom has at least one positive proton and at least one negative electron. Which of the following is true about the protons and electrons in an atom? Protons and electrons are mixed together in a cloud. Protons and electrons are stuck together in neutral pairs. Protons and electrons orbit close together around a central nucleus. Protons and electrons are far apart with lots of empty space in between.

Answer 1

i believe i have the same question rn but i think the answer is "Protons and electrons are far apart with lots of empty space in between."

Answer 2

Answer: Protons and electrons are far apart with lots of empty space in between.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atom is defined fundamental part of a matter. Atom is composed of three sub particles protons, electrons and neutrons.

In an atom, electrons are located in orbits around the nucleus. Nucleus of an atom is located at center of the atomic sphere where protons and neutrons are present. Hence, it will be correct to say that "protons and electrons are far apart with lots of empty space in between".
