The Atom Quiz

What are the four fundamental forces of the atom?

• A.

  Strong Force, Weak Force, Gravity, and Electromagnetic Force.

• B.

  Strong Force, Fundamental Force, Electromagnetic Force, and Electronic Force.

• C.

  Newton's Force, Weak Force, Radioactive Force, and Neutronic Force.

The element changes when the atomic number of the atom changes.

• A.

  True

• B.

  False

The particle that spins around the nucleus of the atom is called the _____.

The outermost electrons are called the

• A.

  Electron Cloud

• B.

  F.E.

• C.

  Electronic Resolution

• D.

  Valence Electrons

Protons have a _____ charge.

Check which ones are true

• A.

  Neutrons have neutral charge.

• B.

  Isotopes are defined by different numbers of neutrons in an element atom.

• C.

  The weak force is the weakest of all four fundamental forces.

• D.

  The nucleus of the atom is extremely tiny compared to the atom shell ( the outside of the atom )

• E.

  During alpha decay, the stabilizing atom shoots off 2 protons and electrons, meaning a radioactive particle that goes through alpha decay shoots off hydrogen.

Why is strong force needed in an atom?

• A.

  Because there is a weak force, there needs to be a strong force.

• B.

  Because of the electromagnetic force. Just... 'cause I said so.

• C.

  Because the protons are constantly repelling each other, there needs to be SOMETHING to keep them from blowing the whole atom apart!

• D.

  Just... 'cause I said so.

Electromagnetic force is the attraction of electrons to the proton, right? So why doesn't the electron just go ajoin its dream happy placea with the proton? In other words, why does it keep spinning even though it's attracted to the proton?

• A.

  Because it has too much kinetic energy from spinning around so fast.

• B.

  Because in its case, electromagnetic force doesn't work.

• C.

  Because the laws of physics deny it.

• D.

  It's just too hyper from having too much sugar!

Okay, so we've covered all of the important parts, right? Yes, O great and holy quizmaker! But what have we left out? We don't know, O great and holy quizmaker! The last question! Okay, so....  ... ... WHAT ARE ATOMS MADE OF? It's a trick question Shhhhhh!! don't tell them! :) nothing to see here, folks, just go ahead and answer the question! :)

• A.

  Scientists still don't know yet; we're going into that matter.

• B.

  The nucleus and the electron!
