How or where can you see an electron a proton or a neutron?

Answer 1

You cannot "see" particles that small with any modern tool. You can see individual atoms, but not smaller than that.

See the Related Links for how you can see atoms and what they look like.

Answer 2

To find the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons of an atom, you have to take the atomic number of the atom and subtract it from the atomic weight. If the atomic weight of the atom is a decimal, you should round it to the nearest tenth.

For Example:

Atom: Sulfur

Atomic Number: 16

Atomic Weight: 32.07

Round the Atomic Weight ( 32.07) to the nearest tenth (32).

Take 32 and subtract it from 16 and you will get 16.

So, the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Sulfur is...

Protons: 16

Neutrons: 16

Electrons: 16

I hope I helped you! :)

Answer 3

protons neutrons and electrons are found in atoms which make up EVERYTHING.... they are extremely small so don't expect seeing them without an extremely powerful microscope... the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are circled by the electrons, number of protons determines which element is represented, the number of electrons determines its charge, and the number of neutrons determines which isotope of the element is represented.....

Answer 4

Everywhere around us! Atoms make up molecules, and molecules make up materials and our own bodies! A neutron is a common ingredient to an atom so they are also everywhere! Atoms and molecules can even be found in outer space.

A free neutron is a bit difficult to find since they decay pretty quickly in a couple of minutes to hours.

Answer 5

No: not around but IN the nucleus.

Added: Protons are found in nucleus, as neutrons are also.

Answer 6

Protons and neutrons which are collectively known as nucleons are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Answer 7

Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus (or the centre) of the atom.

Answer 8

Only under a REALLY strong microscope
