Select the atomic models that belong to the same element.

The trick is to look at the protons, all other things being equal. The yellow spheres are neutrons we are led to believe. All the diagrams show the same number of electrons(2), so there is no help there.

The upper left

The upper right

The Lower left

All have 2 protons and 2 electrons. <<<< Answer Read the 3 lines above.

The center one has only 1 proton And the lower right has 3. Both of them are wrong.

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is Model 1, 2, and 4.

For 2: The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

For 1:

An element has 3 subatomic particles: electrons (E), neutrons (N) and protons (P).

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atoms having same number of protons are same. From the given models, Model 1, 2 and 4 have 2 protons with different neutrons. Hence, these models belong to same element.

For 2:

A compound is defined as a substance in which two or more types of elements combine in a fixed ratio. For Example: [tex]CO_2[/tex] is a compound made out of atoms of carbon and oxygen.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
