Quantum Model of Sodium Atom Quiz

The Bohr model of the atom describes electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed energy levels or shells.

An electron is a subatomic particle with a negative charge that orbits the nucleus of an atom.

The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged particles, while neutrons have no charge.
