(pennfoster plz ) which of the following does not accurately describe the forces that exist with an atom? a. electrons closer to the nucleus and electrons farther from the nucleus repel due to like charges. b. electrons positioned farther away from the nucleus are less attracted to the nucleus than are electrons positioned closer to the nucleus. c. electrons positioned closer to the nucleus have a greater attraction to the protons and are more likely to be discharged from the atom than electrons farther away. d. electrons in an atom are attracted to the protons within the nucleus due to opposite charges.

Choice-C is nonsense.

Electrons positioned closer to the nucleus are closer to the protons in the nucleus and more strongly attracted to them.  Therefore these electrons are LESS likely to be discharged from the atom than electrons farther away from the nucleus are.

he . if i may ask what i your question exactly?

explanation:

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
