Consider this simple model of the atom called carbon, which contains six protons. Which statements accurately describe the carbon atom in the model? Select all that apply.

Protons and neutrons both carry a positive charge.

The grey dots represent negatively charged electrons.

A carbon atom has four unpaired electrons in the outermost shell, so it can form four covalent bonds.

The carbon atom has six electrons and six protons so overall, it has no charge.

The red and yellow dots represent protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

In a carbon atom, the electrons are arranged in three shells:
