What else can I help you with?
Protons push away from one another in the nucleus because theu have?
Protons push away from each other because they are both positively charged. Much like the positive ends of magnets repel each other.
Are protons and neutrons surrounding the nucleus?
Yes, Protons and Neutrons are in the nucleus. Electrons are surrounding the nucleus in shells from far away.
Why the protons in the nucleus have less repulsion than electron?
Protons in the nucleus are tightly bound together by the strong nuclear force, which is stronger than the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons. Electrons, on the other hand, are much lighter and are located further away from each other in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, resulting in weaker repulsive forces between them.
What takes two protons and two neutrons away from the nucleus?
An alpha particle.
The nucleus of an atom consists what part?
an atom consists of a central nucleus of protons and neutrons with electrons moving around it some distance away.
Why are electrons usually found near the nucleus?
Electrons are usually found near the nucleus due to the attractive force of the positively charged protons in the nucleus. This force keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus rather than floating away. The balance between the attractive force of the protons and the repulsive force of the electrons determines the electron's energy level and distance from the nucleus.
Why does electrons move around the nucleus and not away from atom?
Electrons are negatively charge and are attracted to the positively charged Protons in the nucleus of the atom
Does an atom has a densely packed nucleus that is positively charged if yes then why do you hear that nucleus has no charge its neutral?
A nucleus is densely pack and positively charged because it is made up of protons and neutrons. But the entire atom is not charged (unless it is an ion) because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons not in the nucleus. The electrons are actually really far away from the nucleus, so the charges are kept very separate in the atom, though all together the atom is neutral.
What happens if an atom had two protons?
Adding protons would make it a different element. If Electrons were added to an atom, it would start behaving like another element. For example Fluorine would try to be more like Neon. All elements want balance, so they get as close in relation to these noble gases as possible by sharing, stealing, and giving up electrons
What are the composition of atoms?
Speaking very generally, most atoms consist of a dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud away from the nucleus which contains electrons.
Do nucleons hold protons together in the nucleus?
Yes, the protons help hold an atomic nucleus together. Let's look at things and figure this one out. Protons are positively charged, as you know, and like charges repel. That's basic electrostatics. The Coulomb forces of the protons push them away from each other. Further, when protons are packed into an atomic nucleus, they're still pushing away from each other. Let's consider what happens when an atomic nucleus forms. The term nucleon is how we refer to protons and neutrons when they are used as building blocks of an atomic nucleus. And the nucleons all undergo what is called mass deficit when that atomic nucleus if forced together in nuclear fusion. All the nucleons lose some mass during the fusion process, and this mass is converted into nuclear binding energy. The nuclear binding energy is also called nuclear glue, or residual strong interaction (residual strong force). And it is this force that overcomes the repulsive force of the protons, and it keeps the nucleus together. It turns out that both the protons and neutrons are involved in the "magic" that holds the nucleus together, as we've seen. Certainly the protons cannot do it by themselves, and the neutrons are necessary. But the protons have to give up some mass as well so that residual strong force can appear and mediate the fusion process that holds the nucleus together. It's really that simple.
What type of information does the atomic number provide?
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus. The proton number on the other hand states just the number of protons in an atoms nucleus, hence the atomic number take away the proton number equals the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus.
