Groups of students built models of atoms using macaroni to represent protons, beans to represent neutrons, and marshmallows to represent electrons. How can the model be improved to be more accurate of the actual size of each subatomic particle
a) Use three different colors of marshmallows to represent the subatomic particles in the model.
b) Use only lima beans, draw a + sign on the protons, a 0 on the neutrons, and a - on the electrons
c) Use rice grains to represent the electrons in the model
d) Use cotton balls to represent electrons in the model
