Is protons the only thing that orbits around the nucleus of an atom?
actually protons exist inside the nucleus not outside. Electrons are the ones that exist outside and they don't orbit they are more like clouds around the nucleus,and nothing orbits the atom's nucleus.
Why the protons in the nucleus have less repulsion than electron?
Because they are farther away from the nucleus than protons, and they have more freedom as in where to move, because they fly around the nucleus in no particular order.
How can you tell its an element?
An element has a characteristic number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Whenever scientists find an atom with a different number of protons in the nucleus than of any known element, they know that they have discovered a new element.
Scientists who discovered protons?
Protons were discovered when the nucleus of atoms were discovered. Electrons were already known about, so when the nucleus was discovered, it was known that it had to contain positively charged particles: protons. The nucleus was discovered by Ernest Rutherford by shooting alpha particles (helium nuclei, basically helium without the electrons) at a thin sheet of gold. Most of the alpha particles went straight through, but some if them were scattered. Rutherford deduced that these particles had hit something in the foil that didn't take up a large percentage of space: the nuclei of the gold atoms.
Do neutrons and protons make up the nucleus?
yes, neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. Outside of the nucleus are the electrons. The nucleus's charge is positive because of the protons.
Who said Protons exist?
described best by rutherford. first to figure out the atomic nucleus.
Where do the protons and the neutrons exist in the atom?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
Who was The scientist that discovered the presence of protons in the nucleus?
goldstein
Where the protons and neutrons are located?
Nucleus.
What is the center of an atom where the neutrons and protons exist?
Nucleus
Are the electrons of an atom found in the nucleus along with the protons?
Electrons are never found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the protons. They exist in shells that surround the nucleus.
Can isotopes exist because atoms can have different numbers of protons?
No. Isotopes exist because atoms with the same number of protons per nucleus can have differing numbers of neutrons per nucleus.
Is protons the only thing that orbits around the nucleus of an atom?
actually protons exist inside the nucleus not outside. Electrons are the ones that exist outside and they don't orbit they are more like clouds around the nucleus,and nothing orbits the atom's nucleus.
Is the neutrons found outside the nucleus?
The protons are found outside of the neucleus not inside
Does an atom with negative charge nucleus exist?
No, only protons and neutrons exist in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are what produce a negative charge.
Where the protons and neutrons located?
Usually in the nucleus, but they can also exist free.
Why protons are not repelled in nucleus?
Between protons and neutrons exist the residual strong force (nuclear force).
