No. Atoms are usually considered as spheres so the top or the bottom of one depends entirely on what direction you are viewing it from.

Why nucleus not attract the atom from top to bottom in a periodic table?

As we move from top to bottom, number of shells increases and nuclear attraction decreases. Hence nucleus is not able to attract the element at bottom.

Size of an atom from top to bottom?

The diameter (height) of an atom ranges from about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. The sizes of atoms vary depending on how high or low their atomic mass (number) is. The larger the atomic mass, the larger the atom.


How many nuetrons are on an atom?

it depends on which atom it is but you can figure out the number by looking at the periodic table. for example, sodium Na has an atomic mass of 11 (top no.) and a relative atomic mass of 23 (bottom no.), the top number represents the number of protons (and electrons as they are in equal amount) and the bottom number represent the number of neutrons and protons, so, if you take these away from each other you will be left with the number of neutrons the atom has. hope this helps :)
