Sort the statements below as being true or false. [Don't over think.](5 points) True False Atoms in ground state have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Many atoms can gain or lose electrons to form ions, or atoms with electrical charges. All atoms of each individual element have identical nuclei. Atoms of the same element with differing number of neutrons are isotopes. All atoms of each individual element have the same numbers of protons.

Answer 1

Here are the statements sorted as true or false:

True:

1. Atoms in ground state have equal numbers of protons and electrons.
2. Many atoms can gain or lose electrons to form ions, or atoms with electrical charges.
3. Atoms of the same element with differing number of neutrons are isotopes.
4. All atoms of each individual element have the same numbers of protons.

False:

1. All atoms of each individual element have identical nuclei.

(While atoms of an element have the same number of protons, the presence of isotopes means that they can have different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different nucleic structures.)
