Question
Which statement is part of the currently accepted atomic model?A.An atom is a positively charged ball with electrons scattered throughout.B.Atoms are the smallest particles of matter and cannot be divided.C.An atom is made up of electron clouds with different energy levels that surround a nucleus.D.An atom is made up of a nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in orbits.
Solution
The statement that is part of the currently accepted atomic model is: "An atom is made up of electron clouds with different energy levels that surround a nucleus." This is known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom. It describes the behavior of electrons in an atom as a cloud-like region around the nucleus where the electrons are likely to be found. The other statements are outdated models or incorrect.
