Protons and Neutrons are found in the Nucleus of the Atom. An atom's atomic number corresponds to the amount of protons (differnt amount of protons=different element). There are usually the same amount of Neutrons and Protons, but in some cases theere are more Neutrons (these are called different isotopes).

Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?

Yes, a particle accelerator is used to accelerate charged particles to high speeds, giving them sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus. When the particles collide with the nucleus, they can break it apart or induce nuclear reactions.

Which statement is not true about Bohr's model of the atom- A the nucleus can be compared to the sun B electrons orbit the nucleus C an electron's path is not known exactly D electrons exist in?

D electrons exist in - This statement is not true about Bohr's model of the atom because Bohr proposed that electrons move in quantized orbits around the nucleus, rather than existing as continuous particles.


What does the Planetary Theory of Atoms suggest?

The planetary theory of atoms suggests that atoms are like miniature solar systems, with electrons orbiting around a central nucleus. This model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 as an improvement on the earlier plum pudding model. It helped explain the stability of atoms and the discrete energy levels of electrons.


What is the difference between the angle of deviation of the alpha particles closer to the nucleus and that of those that are farther away?

Angle of deviation closer to the nucleus is greater that father from nucleus. These deviations are caused by repulsion of like charges, that is the proton and the alpha particle. Most of the alpha particles pass through, not deviated by large angles, and few rebound back. :D


A. nucleus of an oxygen atom b. water molecule c. proton d. ice crystal e. electron cloud of an oxygen atom what is the smallest in volume?

The smallest in volume would be c. proton. Protons are subatomic particles found within atomic nuclei and have a much smaller volume compared to the nucleus of an oxygen atom, a water molecule, an ice crystal, and the electron cloud of an oxygen atom.
