Question

Which of the following is correct regarding the atom?

  1. An atom has an equal number of protons and neutrons.
  2. An atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.
  3. An atom has an equal number of electrons and neutrons.  
  4. All the above

hintHint:

In an atom, the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons.

The correct answer is: An atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.


    • The atomic theory says that atoms are formed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • The protons and neutrons will be bound in the nucleus which is the central core of an atom.
    • The electrons will be distributed in the shells around the nucleus according to the energy levels.
    • The number of protons in an atom will be equal to the number of electrons.
