How is the nucleus of hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
Is an alpha particle identical to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom?
No, it is identical to that of a helium atom.
How is helium atom different from a hydrogen atom?
Helium has a nuclear charge of +2 and 2 electrons in a 1s orbital. Hydrogen has a nuclear charge of +1 and just one electron in a 1s orbital. The extra charge on the nuclees means that the electrons in He are more tightly bound than in hydrogen thuis reflected in the ionization energy of 2372 kJ/mol for He and about 1312 kJ/mol for hydrogen. For helium t the "outer shell" is full, a "stable " configuration.
What are helium atom nucleus?
The nucleus of a helium atom is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles have the same composition as the nucleus of a helium atom.
Which neucleus is not within the radius of an atom?
A free proton is the nucleus of hydrogen atom and free alpha particle is the nucleus of helium atom and they may exist out side the atomic radius.
How many protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of a helium-4 atom if it has twice as many protons as a hydrogen atom?
Two and two
What is a Nucleus of a helium atom?
The nucleus of a helium atom contains two protons and two neutrons.
How many different types of atoms are in helium?
Helium is an element, so it is made of only one type of atom.
Does magnesium have a smaller radius than helium?
Atoms do not have a radius. A helium atom has a nucleus composed of at least two protons and maybe one or two neutrons. A magnesium atom nucleus (and every other atom on the periodic table other than hydrogen) is BIGGER than a helium nucleus. So if you look at it that way...magnesium is larger than helium
What is an atom of a hydrogen that does not have a nucleus?
Without a nucleus it can not be either an atom or hydrogen.
What is the mass and volume of the nucleus?
If you mean the nucleus of an atom, different atom have different masses - an uranium atom has more than 200 times the mass of a hydrogen-1 atom (and most of that mass is in the nucleus).
