The atom that remains after a neculus desinigrates?

After the nucleus break down, the atoms become smaller in some way. The remaining atom may be radioactive or it can also be balanced. The end result during the disintegration may be known depends on the process of how it disintegrates.


Is the atom that remains after the nucleus disintegrate larger of smaller than the original atom?

smaller


What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?

Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.


What changes occur when a radioactive isotope disintegrates?

When a radioactive isotope disintegrates, it releases radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, gamma rays, or neutrons. This process changes the atom's nucleus, leading to the formation of a different element or isotope. The disintegration continues until a stable atom is reached.


Which part of the atom remains the same during physical and chemical changes?

i believe it is the nucleus.


What does adding a neutron to an atom's nucleus do to the atom's mass?

Adding a neutron increases the atom's mass by about 1 AMU assuming it remains stable.


What determent's an atoms identity?

An atom's identity is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called its atomic number. This number determines the element to which the atom belongs. Electrons can be gained or lost to form ions, but as long as the number of protons remains the same, the atom's identity remains unchanged.


Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?

An excited atom is electrically neutral because the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. When an atom becomes excited, its electrons move to higher energy levels but the total negative charge from the electrons is still balanced by the positive charge from the protons, maintaining the atom's neutrality.


What is the dense center of the atom called?

the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.


What is the center of an atom called?

The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".


What part of an atom forms a nucleus?

The nucleus forms the centre of the atom. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom.
