Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.
Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
Protons and neutrons are contained within the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is located at the center of the atom and it is where most of the atom's mass is concentrated. Electrons, which are negatively charged particles, orbit around the nucleus in electron shells.
How is mass number related to the nucleus?
The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It helps determine the atom's atomic mass by contributing to the overall mass of the atom. Changes in the mass number, such as through nuclear reactions, can result in different isotopes of an element.
D Particles found in the nucleus of nucleus of atoms?
Protons and Neutrons are found in the Nucleus of the Atom. An atom's atomic number corresponds to the amount of protons (differnt amount of protons=different element). There are usually the same amount of Neutrons and Protons, but in some cases theere are more Neutrons (these are called different isotopes).
Is atomic mass the amount of neutrons in the nucleus in the atom?
atomic mass = number of neutrons + number of protons.
What part of the nucleus determine the atomic mass for an element?
All parts of the nucleus, protons and neutrons if any, contribute to the atomic mass. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is its isotope mass number.
What must you know about an atom to determine its mass number?
The number of protons and neutrons in its' nucleus.
What is the atomic mass or mass number equal to?
The amount of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Can you find out the number of electrons by adding protons and neutrons?
To find out the number of electrons in an element you must add the protons and neutrons and subtract that number with the atomic mass, this will determine the amount of electrons because the unknown element could be an isotope and have more than the normal amount of electrons of the non isotope element.
How are electrons protons and neutrons positioned within an atom?
Electrons are on the outside rings of an atom. neutrons and protons are together in the nucleus of the atom. There is always the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, equal to the atomic number of the element. The amount of neutrons varies, even between atoms of the same number, these varieties of an element are called isotopes. If the amount of protons and electrons varies, it is called an ion, and the chemical number is still equal to the amount of protons.
How do you determine the isotope?
Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
Identify the subatomic particles protons and neutrons?
All elements have protons and neutrons within their nuclei. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge, they are only there to add to the size and mass of the atom. The protons are what attract the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. You can determine the amount of protons and typically neutrons within an atom by the atomic number.
