Where do electrons live?
They orbit the nucleus of atoms which is dense and contains the protons and neutrons.
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 are the charges of subatomic particles and their locations in the atom?
There are 3 subatomic particles in the atom. The photon has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus. The neutron has no charge and is found in the nucleus. The electron has a negative charge and is on the outside of the nucleus moving around the nucleus.
What holds electrons in their shells?
The electrons "orbit" the nucleus of an atom. They do so because they are attracted to the positive charge of the protons inside the nucleus. They do not usually leave the atom because of this attraction, and do not usually fall into the nucleus because they are moving.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
What is the proton equal to in the atom?
The proton in an atoms nucleus has a positive charge. The nucleus of an atom contains protons an neutrons whilst the electrons "orbit" the nucleus and have a negative charge.
What charge do electrons have and where are they found in an atom?
They are negatively charged fundamental particles and they are in orbit around atoms.
What are the spheres surrounding the nucleus that contains an atom's electrons?
The spheres surrounding the nucleus of an atom are called protons and neutrons, protons hold the electrons in orbit around the nucleus because a proton has a positive charge which attracts the electron which has a negative charge causing electromagnetic force which holds the electron in orbit. The neutron determines the isotope of the atom but has a neutral charge.
Which subatomic particles has a negative charge and is located outside the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom is made of neutrons and protons. Electrons move around the outside of the nucleus. The number of electrons around an atoms nucleus compared to the number of protons in the nucleus determines the charge of an atom, and the charge of an atom effects the way that an atom reacts with other atoms.
The part of an atom orbits the nucleus?
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
Where do electrons live?
They orbit the nucleus of atoms which is dense and contains the protons and neutrons.
What are the basic constituences of an atom?
In the Nucleus you have: The Proton - Positive Charge The Neutron - Neutral Charge Orbiting the Nucleus you have: The electron - Negative Charge
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
Where are electrons in an atom?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
In an atom electrons .?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
In an atom orbit the nucleus?
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
Planetary model of the atom where electrons orbit around nucleus?
Dalton's
