Question

Which of the following statements is true about the lithium and the helium atoms?

A.
Lithium has more protons, neutrons, and electrons.
B.
Lithium is much smaller than helium.
C.
Helium has more protons, neutrons, and electrons.
D.
There is no difference between helium and lithium.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Lithium has more protons, neutrons, and electrons than helium.

Lithium has three protons, while helium has two. Lithium also has more neutrons and electrons than helium. This means that lithium is larger in size than helium.

Helium is actually the second smallest of all the elements, and it is much smaller than lithium, which is a relatively large element.

So, the correct statement is that lithium has more protons, neutrons, and electrons than helium.
