Each atom is composed of electrons and positive material - false. The mass of the atom is evenly spread throughout the atom. - False Neutrons are located in the center of the atom. - true Positive charge occupies a very small volume in the atom. - true.

Explanation:

The structure of the atom is formed by the nucleus, which consists of two particles (protons and neutrons), and by the electrosphere, which holds the electrons. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but we cannot say that each atom is composed of electrons and positive material, because there are neutrons that have a neutral charge.

The mass of the atom is not evenly spread over the entire atom. The mass of the atom is given practically only by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. This is because each proton and each neutron is 1836 times larger than an electron. For this reason, the mass of the electrons becomes insignificant. That is, the mass of the atom is not spread evenly.

Neutrons are located in the center of the atom, which is the nucleus. In the nucleus of the atom at the center of the molecule, there are neutrons and electrons.

Among atomic particles, protons (which are the positive part) and neutrons have more mass, but they occupy a very small volume in relation to the total volume of the atom.
