Use the Periodic Table below to help you answer the question: Which atomic model of boron (B) is correct?
The atomic number of boron (B) is 5, meaning it has 5 protons in its nucleus. The most common isotope of boron has 6 neutrons (denoted as B-11).
Based on this information, the correct atomic model of boron would be:
- 5 protons in the nucleus
- 6 neutrons in the nucleus
- 5 electrons orbiting the nucleus
This atomic model corresponds to Boron-11 (B-11) which is the most common isotope of boron.
