Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
How can you predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable?
You can not predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable. There is a lack of electrons in the nucleus creating a chemical change in the atom becoming stable.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of the potassium?
20 for the stable atom
What kind of atom has1 protons in its nucleus?
A stable atom of hydrogen (H)
If an atom has two protons would it be stable?
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
Does The largest stable nucleus have 26 protons?
No. In fact the largest stable nucleus of any atom in it's non isotope form is Lead at 82 protons
Where are the neutrons in a Sulfur atom?
in stable isotope of sulphur their are 16 neutrons in its nucleus....
What does adding a neutron to an atom's nucleus do to the atom's mass?
Adding a neutron increases the atom's mass by about 1 AMU assuming it remains stable.
Which of the atomic particles requires 8 electrons in the outer shell in order to be considered a stable atom?
protons in the nucleus (the nucleus should have 8 protons). It is the oxygen-16 atom.
What is the relationship between isotopes and nucleus?
An isotope has either more or fewer neutrons than a stable atom, and neutrons are part of the nucleus.
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A radioactive atom is an atom of an element with an unstable nucleus.
What happens to a nucleus of an unstable atom?
the unstable nucleus will decay into smaller, stable particles.
