  • A Neon
  • B Magnesium
  • C Sulfur
  • D Oxygen
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

The Bohr-Rutherford diagram shows a nucleus with 10 protons and 10 neutrons. This identifies the element as neon (atomic number 10). The diagram also depicts two electron shells. The inner shell contains 2 electrons, and the outer shell contains 8 electrons, for a total of 10 electrons, balancing the 10 protons. Neon's electron configuration (2, 8) represents a full outer shell, making it a noble gas. Noble gases are known for their inertness due to this stable electron arrangement. The diagram accurately represents the structure and electron configuration of a neutral neon atom.
