Where do you find the neutron in an atom?
The neutrons usually live in the nucleus of stable isotopes. Sometimes these guys go walkabout and leave home to visit other nuclei, especially if they are from an unstable home. If there are too many wandering neutrons in the neighbourhood all hell can break loose! JCF see also: nuclear fission
Are protons neutrons or electrons able to leave the atom.?
It is possible, but the energry required for each will be different.
When neutrons electrons and protons leave the atom what happens to the charge on the atom?

What conditions in the nucleus are likely to result in an atom undergoing radioactive decay?
A nucleus can be inherently unstable. It can absorb an energetic photon (photoactivation) and become unstable. It can capture positrons, electrons, neutrons, and protons and become unstable. Decay processes include: # Alpha emission, a high energy 4He nucleus # Beta emission, a high energy electron # Beta+ emission / Beta capture, either a positron is emitted or an electron is captured into the nucleus (Burp!) # Gamma emission, one or more high energy photons are emitted # Neutron emission, neutrons of varying energies may be ejected in the process of a heavy nucleus decay (even tritium).
How do yo find the neutrons of an atom?
Refer to the periodic table of elements the number above the letter (atomic #) refers to the number of protons in the nucleus NOTE: in a neutral atom, we know that #protons = #electrons the number below the letter(atomic mass) refers to the number of protons + neutrons therefore if we take ATOMIC MASS - ATOMIC # = # NEUTRONS
What does nucleus of atom contains?
The Nucleus of the Hydrogen Atom contains a single proton. All other atoms contain protons and neutrons.The only thing I want to know though is what an atom contains in the nucleus not just a hydrogen atom. Or Is it the same as a Hydrogen one?Im asking this question in the answer box because I dont know how to ask a question.There are two different items that the nucleus of an atom can contain, protons and neutrons.The nucleus of a hydrogen atom contains one proton.The nucleus of a helium atom contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The nucleus of many lithium atoms contain 3 protons and 3 neutrons. The name of the atom is determined by the number of protons. You can go to Uranium which has 92 protons and 146 neutrons in the nucleus of the most common variety.The nucleus of an atom contains the neutrons and protons. The nucleus is usually positively charged.

Do alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons?
No. A beta particle is either an electron (beta-) or a positron (beta+). An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 nuetrons bound together. It's actually a helium-4 nucleus that has been emitted as a result of nuclear decay. Both types of beta particle and the alpha particle are forms of particulate radiation that result from nuclear decay of radioactive materials. Which form of decay and the energies of the particles as they leave the nucleus vary as the radionuclide emitting them.

Why do protons push away from each other in the nucleus?
Protons push away from each other because they are both positively charged. Much like the positive ends of magnets repel each other. Fortunately, protons are held together by quarks, leptons and gluons.

What is the same as the number of protons in its nucleus?
The number of protons in an atomic nucleus can change by several different mechanisms. Let's look at each one and see what happens.In an atom with "too many" protons in its nucleus, that unstable atom can undergo what is called beta decay. There are two types of beta decay, and the one that could happen here goes by the name beta plus decay. In beta plus decay, a proton in the nucleus of that unstable atom transforms into a neutron. A positron and an antineutrino will be ejected from the nucleus, and the number of protons will have gone down by one. If you guessed that nuclear transmutation has just occurred where one element has transformed into another one, you'd be correct.In some other unstable atoms with "too many" protons in the nucleus, that nucleus could under an electron capture event. In electron capture, the nucleus "pulls in" a nearby electron from one of the inner shells of the atom, and that electron "combines" with a proton to become a neutron. Again, the number of protons in the nucleus goes down by one, and nuclear transmutation has occurred.Lastly, it is possible to bombard atomic nuclei with particles and "knock" protons out of a nucleus that is "hit" by the bombarding particles. There are a few different activities that are carried out in nuclear physics labs to do this, but we'll leave it here for now. Just keep in mind that beta plus decay and electron capture are the two primary methods that unstable nuclei undergo when they change the number of protons they have.

How do yo find the neutrons of an atom?
Refer to the periodic table of elements the number above the letter (atomic #) refers to the number of protons in the nucleus NOTE: in a neutral atom, we know that #protons = #electrons the number below the letter(atomic mass) refers to the number of protons + neutrons therefore if we take ATOMIC MASS - ATOMIC # = # NEUTRONS
What holds electrons in their shells?
The electrons "orbit" the nucleus of an atom. They do so because they are attracted to the positive charge of the protons inside the nucleus. They do not usually leave the atom because of this attraction, and do not usually fall into the nucleus because they are moving.
Which one can leave the nucleus: DNA or RNA?
RNA can leave the Nucleus.
Is An electron is the only part of an atom that may leave or join an atom?
No. It's the only part of an atom that may leave or join an atom easily. Nuclear fusion and fission add or remove other particles like neutrons and protons.
