Answer: Protons.
- A Neutrons
- B Protons
- C Mass number
- D Shells
Correct answer: B. Protons
Explanation: The number of protons identifies the element, so atoms of the same element have the same proton number.
Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.
