Question

Which element is shown in the Bohr-Rutherford model in the picture?

  1. Lithium
  2. Boron
  3. Carbon
  4. Neon

hintHint:

atomic number = number of protons

The correct answer is: Neon


    • In the Bohr-Rutherford model of atom equal number of protons and neutrons are present in a neutral atom.
    • Here ten neutron and ten protons are present.
    • We know, atomic number = number of protons
    • Atomic number of Neon is 10 and here 10 protons are present in the picture. Hence, the element is neon.
