## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the correct statements about the distribution of mass and charge in an atom. ## Step 2The first statement says that the negative charge is concentrated in one area outside the nucleus. This is not correct. In an atom, the negative charge is not concentrated in one area outside the nucleus. Instead, it is spread out in the form of electrons that orbit the nucleus.## Step 3The second statement says that the mass is concentrated inside the nucleus. This is correct. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are much heavier than electrons. Therefore, the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.## Step 4The third statement says that the negative charge is spread around outside the nucleus. This is also correct. As mentioned earlier, the negative charge in an atom is spread out in the form of electrons that orbit the nucleus.
