Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
As a general rule yes, larger molecules do tend to have more neutrons than protons.
Why do atoms of heavier elements generally contain more neutrons than protons?
because the protons and electrons HAVE to cancel out each other and ive knowtest that normally, there are around 1/2 as many neutrons then protons.
Is a proton larger or smaller than an electron?
Protons have a larger mass, but it is unclear which (if either) have a larger radius. The electron does not seem to have ANY measurable radius.
What is the composition of lighter elements in comparison with heavier element?
The lighter elements have less protons and neutrons than heavier ones. It really is as simple as that
What is smaller protons or atoms?
Protons are smaller than atoms. Protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Are electrons larger than neutrons and protons?
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
Elements with more than 92 protons are called?
Elements with more than 92 protons are called Transuranic elements.
Are protons bigger than neutrons?
Yes, neutrons are larger than protons.
What is 3 differences between compounds and elements?
An element is only made up of its protons, neutrons and electrons.A compound is made up of elements.A compound can be broken down into to its original elements easier than an element can be broken into its (protons, neutrons and electrons).
How were chemical elements larger than helium made?
This process is called stellar nucleosynthesis.
What elements have more than 92 protons in their nuclei?
radioactive.
What are elements with more than 92 protons called?
Transuranic.
These elements form ions because they have more than?
protons than electrons
The stronger force between protons and neutrons in a small nucleus and a larger nucleus?
In a small nucleus, such as oxygen, xenon, or any of the lighter elements, the strong force generated by the protons and neutrons is stronger than the repulsion between protons, and the nucleus holds together. In a larger nucleus, such as uranium, curium, or the heavier elements, the strong force isn't strong enough to hold it together, and the electromagnetic force pulls it to pieces.
Nonmetal ions larger than their elemental counterparts?
Non metallic ions are negatively charged. They have more electrons than protons. So they are larger than elemental counterparts that have equal number of protons and electrons.
Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
As a general rule yes, larger molecules do tend to have more neutrons than protons.
How an elements is classified as transuranium elements?
Elements having more than 92 protons, the atomic number of uranium, are called transuranium elements.
