What do Atoms of the same element have same atomic?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
How do you find how many protons electrons and neutrons are in an atom?
The amount of protons is the same as the Atomic Number of the atom. Also the same goes for the amount of electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom would be the atomic mass minus the number of protons, neutrons, or atomic number. (it doesn't matter which of the three you use because they are all the same number) For example Titanium has an atomic number of 22, protons 22, and electrons 22. The atomic mass is 47, so to find the amount of neutrons you would take the atomic mass (47) minus the atomic number, protons, or electrons (22). So this would be your equation... Atomic mass - electrons (or whichever you choose) equals number of neutrons. So-> 47-22=25 neutrons.
Name the sub atomic particles in an atom?
The most important ones are the proton (positive charge, in the nucleus), the neutron (electrically neutral, also in the nucleus), and the electron (negative charge, goes around the nucleus).
Where is each subatomic particle located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are always found in the nucleus of an atom. Scientists over the years have speculated the position of electrons. The currently accepted model is the Atomic Orbital Model. This model predicts that electrons are found in sub-orbitals which are positioned in subshells. These subshells are located between principle energy levels.
What are the positively charged particles of a nucleus called?
No negative particle exists in the nucleus of the atom, unless one goes to the subsubatomic level. Outside the nucleus are electrons. The nucleus itself is made up of Protons and Neutrons
Why does nitrogen have 7 electrons?
i just learned this today! okay so you know how on a periodic table it says nitrogen then it has a number: 7, and then it has the "N" and 14.007(usually they 7 and 14.007 are switched) the 14.007 means that there are 14 protons and neutrons. there will always be the same amount of elcetrons as protons.(as far as my knowledge goes) so then you have 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electons. the number 7 is how many protons it has, so really to know the number of electrons all you have to do is look at that. hope that helped(just had my 2nd day of chemistry today lol)
Who was given credit for discovering the proton?
Ernest Rutherford is credited with the discovery of the proton.
What is in a nucleus?
a nucleus is the center of the atom which holds protons and neutrons, It is also called the brain because it controls all activities of what goes on in a cell.
What are examples of isotopes with fewer neutrons than protons?
Hydrogen-1 (protium):1 proton, 0 neutrons (stable) Helium-2 (diproton): 2 protons, 0 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Helium-3: 2 protons, 1 neutron (stable) Lithium-4: 3 protons, 1 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Lithium-5: 3 protons, 2 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 1 neutron (mostly theoretical, unstable, extremely short half-life if formed) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 2 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 3 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Boron-6: 5 protons, 1 neutron (mostly theoretical, extremely short half-life if formed) Boron-7: 5 protons, 2 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Boron-8: 5 protons, 3 neutron (unstable - short half-life) Boron-9: 5 protons, 4 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Carbon-8: 6 protons, 2 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Carbon-9: 6 protons, 3 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Carbon-10: 6 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Carbon-11: 6 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Nitrogen-10: 7 protons, 3 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Nitrogen-11: 7 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Nitrogen-12: 7 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Nitrogen-13: 7 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Oxygen-12: 8 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Oxygen-13: 8 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Oxygen-14: 8 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Oxygen-15: 8 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Fluorine-14: 9 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-15: 9 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-16: 9 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-17: 9 protons, 8 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Neon-16: 10 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Neon-17: 10 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Neon-18: 10 protons, 8 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Neon-19: 10 protons, 9 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) ... and the list goes on
The charge of an atom's nucleus is what?
The charge of an atom's nucleus is always positive.
When a parent radioactive nucleus splits by ejecting an alpha particle the remaining nucleus has what left?
two protons and two neutrons less than the original nucleus.* A lower atomic mass (-4)* A lower atomic number (-2)In alpha decay, an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is given off.An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. THus the atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Proton number endows the identity of the element. The daughter nucleus is thus of a different element to the parent nucleus. It also has 2 fewer protons. Radium can decay by alpha emission, losing 2 protons from the original 88, leaving a nucleus of Radon with 86 protons.Neutrons and protons summed give the mass number of the atom. SInce an alpha-decayed nucleus loses a sum of 4 particles (protons and neutrons) the mass number goes down by 4.NovaNET answer: 2 protons and 2 neutrons less
The number of neutrons in an atom equal the?
This question is slightly obscure... but I think I know what you're asking for.The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in the atom (also the proton number). The neutron number (A) is the number of neutrons + protons. This number is considered to be the mass of the atomic particle. The number of neutrons by itself is generally not used.The number of neutrons is quite variable (that's how you get isotopes) ; but the low weight elements (beginning with Helium) often have equal numbers of neutron and protons, but as the atomic weight [number] goes up the number of neutrons needed to stabilize the nucleolus increases.
