How are an atoms nucleus and its electron cloud different?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. The nucleus is positively charged and is much smaller in size compared to the electron cloud. The electron cloud determines the size of the atom and contains most of the atom's volume.
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.
The cloud around the atom's nucleus contains its?
The cloud around an atom's nucleus is called an electron cloud. An electromagnetic force binds electrons inside an electrostatic potential well, which surrounds the nucleus.
Where are the atoms located?
Atoms are located in the nucleus at the center of an atom, which contains protons and neutrons, and in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, where electrons are found. These atoms make up all matter in the universe.
An atom's nucleus contains what?
An atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles that make up the majority of an atom's mass. The nucleus is the central core of an atom where these particles are located, surrounded by the electron cloud.
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
What are two main parts of the atom?
Two main parts of the atom are the nucleus and the electron cloud. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud contains electrons orbiting around the nucleus.
Where is most of potassium atoms mass located?
Most of the mass of a potassium atom is located in its nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus have significantly less mass compared to the nucleus.
Where do electrons live?
Electrons are found in different energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. They form a "cloud" of negative charge around the nucleus and are constantly moving within this cloud. Electrons do not have a fixed location like planets around a sun but occupy specific regions of space known as orbitals.
What takes up space in a atom?
Atoms don't neccassarilly have space inside of them. Atoms are very small peices of matter, orbiting around each other. The nucleus contains neutrons and protons, and electrons orchit this nucleus. I am not sure what you exactly mean by "space in an atom" but atoms are very small, and take up hardly any space.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
What is the negatively charged particle that is one of the three basic building blocks of atoms?
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
