No. However, about one hundred years ago, before neutrons were discovered, it was considered that atomic nuclei contained electrons to balance the positive charges of part of the protons, since every isotope except hydrogen-1 has a mass number higher than its atomic number, and no neutral subatomic particle was known.

In their natural state, yes, however the hydrogen ion is simply a lone proton with no neutrons or electrons.

Nope, Nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons. Electrons are around the nucleus.

Are there neutrons in a white dwarf?

Yes. A white dwarf is made mostly of electron degenerate matter, which consists of atomic nuclei surrounded by free electrons. The nuclei contain protons and neutrons.


What is a mixture of sub atomic particles nuclei and electrons?

An ATOM. The sub-atomic particles are Protons, Neutrons. and Electrons. The protons and neutrons are collectively named 'nucleons, because they form the nucleus of an atom. The electrons are in energy shells around the nucleus.

False. Electromagnetic force.


Does fluorine contain 10 electrons?

it has 9 electrons atomic number= number of protrons and electrons and atomic mass-atomic number=neutrons


Location of electrons?

Electrons are naturally to be found in shells surrounding atomic nuclei.


Why is the number of electrons more than nucleus in the sea of electrons model?

In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
