To determine which atomic model of boron is correct, we can look at the atomic number of boron on the Periodic Table.
The atomic number of boron is 5, which means it has 5 protons in its nucleus. The most common isotopes of boron have atomic mass numbers of 10 and 11, which means they have 5 and 6 neutrons respectively.
Therefore, the correct atomic model of boron (B) would be:
- 5 protons
- 5 electrons
- 5 neutrons (for the most common isotope with an atomic mass number of 10)
- Therefore, the atomic model of boron is 5p+, 5e-, and 5n.
Use the Periodic Table below to help you answer the question: Which atomic model of boron (B) is correct?
