Is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom equal to the number of electrons in its outer rings?
Only for the isotope hydrogen-1. All other nuclei contain at least one neutron; the number of electrons present outside the nucleus is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus; and both protons and neutrons are nucleons. Therefore, in any nucleus except that of hydrogen-1, the number of nucleons in the nucleus is greater than the number of electrons outside the nucleus.
Which group in the periodic table contain only metal?
There are many groups in the periodic table that only contain metals. There are the Alkali metals, the Alkaline earth metals, Lanthanoids, Actinoids, Transition metals, and the Post-transition metals.
Which subatomic particles are found in the atom?
Atoms have a central nucleus in which there are particles called nucleons. The term nucleon is a collective term for protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge (are neutral). Both protons and neutrons contain quarks. A proton comprises two up quarksand one down quark. A neutron contains two down quarks and one up quark. Quarks are pronounced 'corks' and are held together by gluons.Surrounding the nucleus, there are energy levels in which electrons orbit. Electrons have a negative charge.Of all the particles in an atom, only quarks and electrons are truly fundamental particles.
How many nucleons are there in Carbon?
Any atom has only one nucleus in it. The difference is always in the number of nucleons. Nucleons are the fundamental particles of an atom that constitute the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are the primary nucleons. The number of protons is always different for different elements. For e.g., the number of protons in a carbon atom is 6
What do you add together to get an atoms mass?
The protons and the neutrons, because those are the only particles in the atom that contain quarks.
What are protons and neutrons called?
They are called "subatomic particles." Another answerer suggested "nucleons," but this applies only to nuclear particles (protons and electrons). They are also Fermions, but there are fermions other than these three. I would stick with "subatomic particles."
What species contains only 12 nucleons in the nucleus?
the Atomic Mass is made of protons and neutrons. When these particles are together, they are known as nucleons. carbon-12 contains 12 nucleons.
What particles contain hydrogen?
Hydrogen only!
What particles or structure would not contain any quarks?
Any particle that is not a hadron does not contain quarks. Fundamental bosons and leptons are the only category of particles that do not contain quarks.
What is the only element that does not contain all three subatomic particles?
neon
What does the letter A symbolizes in physics?
In Nuclear Physics, A stands for atomic mass number. Atomic number is the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of a given atom. Basically it tells us about the mass of the atom, as nucleons are the only sub-atomic particles which have mass. Nucleons mean neutrons and protons.

Which group contain animals that are vectors?
Insects is the only group that contains animals that are vectors

Does copper particles contain kinetic energy?
the particles in copper only have kinetic energy once it has been heated as this causes the particles to move around (kinetic energy) knocking its neighbour causing heat
