What does a Bohr-Rutherford diagram show?

  1. The structure of a molecule

  2. The numbers and locations of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom

  3. The energy levels of electrons in an atom

  4. The chemical bonds between atoms

The correct answer is: The numbers and locations of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom

A Bohr-Rutherford diagram is a visual representation of an atom's structure, specifically showing the numbers and locations of protons, neutrons, and electrons. This is also known as the atomic structure. Option A is incorrect because molecule structures involve multiple atoms, whereas a Bohr-Rutherford diagram only shows the structure of one atom. Option C is incorrect because energy levels of electrons can be represented in a different type of diagram, such as an orbital diagram. Option D is incorrect because chemical bonds are not shown in a Bohr-Rutherford diagram, which focuses solely on the individual atom's structure.
