Let's solve this step by step based on the diagram and the provided terms.
Objective:
Label the parts of the atom using the following terms:
- Proton
- Neutron
- Electron
- Nucleus
- Electron Cloud
---
Understanding the Diagram:
The image shows a simplified model of an atom:
1.
Center cluster – Contains small circles with "+" signs and others without (neutral). This is the
nucleus.
- The "+" signs represent
protons (positively charged).
- The neutral circles represent
neutrons (no charge).
2.
Circles around the nucleus – These are
electron shells or orbits.
- The small circles with "–" signs represent
electrons (negatively charged).
- The region where electrons move is called the
electron cloud.
3.
Arrows point to specific parts, so we need to match each label correctly.

Step-by-step labeling:
#### 1.
Top-right arrow points to an electron in orbit:
- This is a
– particle moving in a shell →
Electron
#### 2.
Left-side bracket points to the central cluster:
- This is the core of the atom →
Nucleus
#### 3.
Bottom-left arrow points to a circle inside the nucleus with a "+" sign:
- This is a positively charged particle →
Proton
#### 4.
Bottom-center arrow points to a circle inside the nucleus with no charge:
- This is a neutral particle →
Neutron
#### 5.
Large curved bracket on the right encloses all the electron orbits:
- This represents the region where electrons are found →
Electron Cloud

✔ Final Answer:
-
Top-right box:
Electron
-
Left-side box (bracket):
Nucleus
-
Bottom-left box:
Proton
-
Bottom-center box:
Neutron
-
Right-side large box:
Electron Cloud
---
🔍 Explanation:
-
Protons and
neutrons are located in the
nucleus at the center.
-
Electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels (shells), forming the
electron cloud.
- The
electron cloud is not a solid structure but a region where electrons are likely to be found.
This model reflects the
Bohr model of the atom, simplified for educational purposes.
✔ All labels are now correctly assigned!
