What are the uses of protons?
The protons help keep the nuclecus intact.The protons decide the atomic number of the atom.The protons balance out the negative charge by the electrons.The protons add mass to the atom.
The nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons while the necleus of another atom contains 12 protons and 16 neutrons what are the atoms?
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
Which of these forces help protons and neutrons to stay at the center of the atom?
Gravitational force
What helps maintain an atoms structure between negative and positive protons?
The attraction between negative and positive protons help to maintain and atom's structure.
An atom has 13 protons what element is this?
Aluminum or Al. ---Hope I could help!
Why neutrons are present in an atom?
Protons have a positive charge, Electrons have a negative charge, and Neutrons have a neutral charge. Neutrons help to ground the charges of protons and electrons.
What must be equal for an atom to have a neutral charge?
I think that for an atom to have a neutral charge, it must have the same amount of protons and neutrons. Otherwise its a ion. Check it up on Google just to be sure. Hope I could help :)
The atomic number which defines the identity and specific properties of an element refers to?
the number of protons in the atom. hope this help:0
What parts of the atom have a positive charge?
Parts of an atom: - protons - located in the nucleus - have a positive charge - neutrons - located in the nucleus - have a neutral or no charge - electrons - are in orbit around the nucleus - have a negative charge
What is a stable nuclei?
The stability of a nucleus in an atom how firmly the particles are held together. Protons in a nucleus would repel each other, but with the help of neutrons, most of the mass of an atom is strongly kept in place.
What describes a neutral atom?
An atom is composed of these sub particles: protons, nuetron, and electrons. Inside the nucleus there are protons (positively charges) and nuetrons(nuetrally charges). Ouside of the atom's nucleaus are electrons (negatively charged). An atom is said to be nuetrally charged if there are the same number of protons and electrons.
What is structures in nucleus?
The atom's center which is a cluster of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive electric charge and neutrons have no electric charge. The atom's nucleus is held together by a strong force, which keeps positively charged protons from repelling each other. It surrounded by a cloud of electrons moving near the speed of the light. The electrons have a negative charge that attracts them to the protons and they live in shells representing different energy levels.Hope this help you :D
