Which statement best describes an atom?

protons and neutrons grouped in a specific pattern

protons and electrons spread around randomly

a group of protons and neutrons that are surrounded by electrons

a ball of electrons and neutrons surrounded by protons

The correct answer is going to be  C, because in the nucleus of an atom there are protons and electrons; which can't move, and are surrounded by electrons on the electrical cloud

Answer;

a group of protons and neutrons that are surrounded by electrons

Explanation;An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms of the same element are similar, while different elements have different atoms.Atom of an element is made up of sub atomic particles, namely; protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of the atoms contains the protons and the neutrons, while the energy shells surrounding the nucleus contains the electrons.The protons are positively charged , while the neutrons have no charge, which makes the nucleus positively charged. The electrons are negatively charged.
