Column A Column B
1. proton: b. positively charged particle
2. neutron: d. neutral particle
3. electron: a. negatively charged particle
4. nucleus: c. the area of the atom where positive particles and neutral particles are found
5. electron cloud: e. the area of the atom where negatively charged particles are found
To match the parts of an atom to their descriptions, you can use the following explanations:
1. Proton: A positively charged particle. It is found in the nucleus of the atom. To match it with its description, you can choose option B: positively charged particle.
2. Neutron: A neutral particle. It is also found in the nucleus of the atom. To match it with its description, you can choose option D: neutral particle.
3. Electron: A negatively charged particle. It is found in the electron cloud, which is the area surrounding the nucleus of the atom. To match it with its description, you can choose option A: negatively charged particle.
4. Nucleus: The area of the atom where positive particles (protons) and neutral particles (neutrons) are found. To match it with its description, you can choose option C: the area of the atom where positive particles and neutral particles are found.
5. Electron cloud: The area of the atom where negatively charged particles (electrons) are found. To match it with its description, you can choose option E: the area of the atom where negatively charged particles are found.
By matching the descriptions to the parts of the atom, you can correctly pair each option in Column B with the corresponding element in Column A.
