The diagram below shows a simplified Bohr model of an atom, showing two main regions labeled Region X and Region Y.

Bohr model of an atom

a.

Identify the subatomic particles that are located within Region X.

[1]
b.

Identify the two types of subatomic particles that are located inside Region Y.

[1]
c.

Explain, in terms of the relative masses of these subatomic particles, why almost all of the mass of this atom is concentrated within Region Y.

[2]
d.

Look at these two symbols representing different oxygen atoms:

 816Oand 818O^{16}_{\ 8}\text{O} \quad \text{and} \quad ^{18}_{\ 8}\text{O} 816​Oand 818​O

State the relationship between these two oxygen atoms and explain your answer in terms of their constituent subatomic particles.
