Let’s solve this step by step.

Q.1: Label the parts of the atom
We are given four words to use:
- Neutron
- Proton
- Electron
- Nucleus
Looking at the diagram (even though we can’t see it, we know standard atomic structure):
- The
nucleus is in the center — it contains protons and neutrons.
-
Protons are positively charged (+) and found in the nucleus.
-
Neutrons have no charge and are also in the nucleus.
-
Electrons are negatively charged (–) and orbit around the nucleus.
In the diagram:
→ The label pointing to the
entire central cluster (with + and neutral particles) should be
Nucleus.
→ The labels pointing to individual
+ particles inside the nucleus → those are
Protons.
→ The labels pointing to
– particles outside the nucleus, on orbits → those are
Electrons.
→ The labels pointing to
neutral particles inside the nucleus (no + or – sign) → those are
Neutrons.
So, matching based on typical diagrams:
Top right box (pointing to a – particle orbiting) →
Electron
Middle right box (pointing to a + particle in center) →
Proton
Bottom right box (pointing to a neutral particle in center) →
Neutron
Bottom center box (pointing to whole center group) →
Nucleus
✔ So the correct labeling from top to bottom (as per common layout):
Top box → Electron
Middle box → Proton
Bottom-right box → Neutron
Bottom-center box → Nucleus
*(Note: Since the exact positions aren't visible, but based on standard worksheet layouts and logic above, this is the only logical assignment.)*

Q.2: Which statement is false?
Let’s check each option:
a) *All matter is composed of atoms.* → TRUE. This is basic science.
b) *Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.* → TRUE. That’s where they live.
c) *Protons and electrons are about the same mass.* → FALSE!
Actually, protons are much heavier than electrons. A proton is about 1836 times more massive than an electron. Electrons are very light.
d) *The word atom comes from an ancient Greek word that means "indivisible".* → TRUE. “Atomos” = uncuttable/indivisible.
So the FALSE statement is
c.

Final Answer:
Q.1 Labels (from top to bottom as typically arranged):
- Top box: Electron
- Middle box: Proton
- Bottom-right box: Neutron
- Bottom-center box: Nucleus
Q.2: c
