Question

From what region of the atom are they lost?

A. Inside the nucleus.
B. Outside the nucleus.
C. Outside the atom.
D. Both inside and outside the nucleus

Answer 1

Electrons are lost from the outside region of the atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subatomic particles of an atom are arranged in two regions: the nucleus and the outer region of the atom. The nucleus, which is located inside the atom, contains protons and neutrons. These subatomic particles are relatively massive and make up most of the atom's mass. On the other hand, the electrons are found in the outer region or orbit around the nucleus. Answer choice B, 'Outside the nucleus,' is correct.
