Although there exists a non-zero probability for an electron to be within the nucleus, the greatest probability is for them to be found somewhere outside there. The average (more precisely, the expectation value of the) distance between an electron and the nucleus is represented by the different periods of the periodic table. With an increasing period number comes an increasing average distance.

∙ 11y agoThough the nucleus gives out electrons as beta particles in the phenomenon of beta decay, nucleus does not have electron within. Then how could an electron come out?
This is actually an interesting question.
A neutron is capable of decaying into a proton and an electron along with a formation of anti neutrino. This electron comes out as beta particle.

What particles might be found in shells around a nucleus?
The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.
The part of an atom that would be found outside the nucleus is the _______.?
The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.
What can be found in an atom's nucleus?
The nucleus can be found in the center of an atom. The electrons can be found in the 'surface' if an atom is considered to be a sphere.
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, but not electrons. Electrons are found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Is electrons found inside the nucleus?
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
Are electrons are found inside the nucleus?
No, they are directly found outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.
Which particle is not found inside the nucleus of an atom?
the electrons are found outside the nucleus. the nucleus contains protons and neutrons
Is the neutrons found outside the nucleus?
The protons are found outside of the neucleus not inside
Is an electron found inside the nucleus true or false?
Electrons surround the nucleus and are not inside one.
Is an electron located inside the nucelus of an atom?
No. Electrons are located outside the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus.
What is the location of a electron?
The location of an electron is circling the outside of an atom.
Where are protons located inside atom?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Where are each sub-atomic parts found?
Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus; electrons are around nucleus.
What particles might be found in shells around a nucleus?
The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.
Is the proton inside the nucleus?
All the atomic nucleus (excepting the isotope 1H) contain a number of neutrons.
What particle flies around the outside of an atom?
Electrons r the particles found outside the nucleus
