Atoms are electrically what?
Neutral? The core is positive, electrons are negative, and in many cases the result is neutral. It doesn't have to be, but if it isn't they are usually called ions, instead.
What force holds nuclei of atoms together?
The "strong nuclear force".
What tool do scientists use to break apart the nuclei of atoms?
forceps
What is the force bind electrons to nuclei to form atoms?
The force that binds electrons to nuclei to form atoms is usually called the electrostatic force or the Coulomb force; the magnitude of the force can be calculated using Coulomb's law.
What keeps atoms from fusing together?
It is the nulei which fuse. Nuclei are positively charged and thus repel each other. The kinetic energy of the nuclei must be very large for nuclei to be able to fuse, such as at the surface of the sun, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.
What is a true of an atoms nucleus?
The atomic nucleus is electrically positive.
What are atoms electrically neutral?
if an atom is electrically neutral it has twice as many nuetrons as it does protons and electrons.
How can you tell if an atom is electrically charged?
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
Rutherford proposed that atoms have positive nuclei which statement correctly describes the nucleus of an atom?
Yes, the atomic nucleus is positive.
What is the name of the scientist who discovered that atoms have positive charged?
Ernest Rutherford is the name of the scientist who discovered that atoms have positively charged nuclei.
What are their respective charges of a atom?
Electrically charged atoms are called ions: positive charge - cations, negative charge - anions.
What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?
The nuclei of heavier atoms simply have more neutrons and protons than do lighter atoms.
Why don't atoms carry net charge?
The total positive charge of the nucleus is cancelled by the negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hence atoms are electrically neutral
What is a force that holds atoms together in a molecule?
Electrostatic attraction for electron pairs hold atoms together. When atoms bond into a molecule, they share electrons, each contributing one electron to a pair. Since the nuclei of the atoms are positive and the electrons are negative, both nuclei are attracted to the shared pair, and stay near each other.
What are the two electric charges?
There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.
How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
