What else can I help you with?
How alpha decay affects the parent ATOM....not the nucleus.?
Nuclear decay, etc. is defined for the nucleus. The atom consists mostly of the nucleus. If the nucleus loses two protons (in the case of alpha decay) it will have two charges less; eventually it will tend to lose two electrons to become an electrically neutral atom.
What is the dense center of the atom called?
the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
No, an atom cannot gain or lose protons. Protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom, and changing the number of protons would change the atom's identity. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons, which affects their charge but not their identity.
What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
What part of an atom forms a nucleus?
The nucleus forms the centre of the atom. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom.
Most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the?
in the nucleus of the atom
Center of atom?
The center of an atom is the atomic nucleus.
Do protons orbit the nucleus in an atom?
No, protons do not orbit the nucleus in an atom. They are located within the nucleus along with neutrons. Electrons are the particles that orbit the nucleus in an atom.
Where in a atom are protons found?
Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms along with the neutrons of the atom. The nucleus is always in the centre of the atom.
Does a hydrogen atom have a neutron in its nucleus?
No, a hydrogen atom does not have a neutron in its nucleus. A hydrogen atom consists of only one proton in its nucleus.
Where can you find neutrons in an atom?
Nuetrons are found in the center of an atom which is called the nucleus.
Protons of an atom are found only?
Protons of an atom are found only in its nucleus.
