What is the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?
An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).
What is a protons position in the atom?
Protons are located in the nucleus of an atom, along with neutrons. They have a positive charge, which helps hold the nucleus together due to electromagnetic forces. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Positive part of the nucleus?
The positive part of the nucleus is the protons, which have a positive charge. Protons are located within the nucleus of an atom, along with neutrons. The positive charge of the protons helps hold the nucleus together through electromagnetic forces.
Why are neutrons in the nucleus of an atom if they have no charge?
well they aren't going to orbit if they have no charge. They hold the protons together. Protons, with the same charge, wouldn't stay together without neutrons.
How do protons and neutrons hold an atom together?
The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.
What forces hold an atom's nucleus together?
The primary forces that hold an atom's nucleus together are the strong nuclear force, which is attractive and overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons, and the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay. These forces play a critical role in maintaining the stability of the atom's nucleus.
Do protons hold nucleus together?
No, the strong nuclear force does.
Which particles are within the atom?
Protons and neutrons are in nucleus. Electrons revolve around them
What does strong nuclear force hold together?
The strong nuclear force holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It is one of the fundamental forces in nature that overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons, binding them together in a stable nucleus.
What are the two forces that hold an atom together?
The two forces that hold an atom together are the electromagnetic force, which causes attraction between protons and electrons, and the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
What is the primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
The primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is to contribute to the binding energy or nuclear glue that holds the nucleus itself together. Recall that an atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, and they don't like each other. In order to overcome the repulsive forces of the protons, neutrons are included in the structure to contribute to the so-called mass deficit. That phenomenon involves the nucleons (the protons and neutrons in a nucleus) losing a bit of mass that is converted into binging energy to hold the neucleus together.
Forces that hold an atom together?
a chemical bond
