Read the false statement.
in an atom, protons and electrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by neutrons.
which of the answer choices rewords the false statement so it is true?
in an atom, electrons and photons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by neutrons.
in an atom, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by electrons.
in an atom, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by photons.
in an atom, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus, which is surrounded by protons.

The second one is the correct statement.

Explanation:

An atom consists of a dense, heavy, positively charged central part called nucleus. It consists of neutrons and protons.

The electrons revolves around the nucleus in circular paths. These electrons are called planetary electrons because they can be compared to various planets revolving around the sun and the nucleus is compared with sun.

Light is the result of electrons moving between defined energy levels in an atom, called shells. When something excites an atom, such as a collision with another atom or a chemical electron, an electron may absorb the energy, boosting it up to a higher-level shell.
