True or false a nucleus is an atomic particle that has no atomic charge?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Assuming the context of this question is atomic physics, the answer is "false" for two reasons:
1) the atomic nucleus is positively charged.
2) the atomic nucleus a tightly bound composite of many particles.

a nucleus contains protons and neutrons, it has a positive charge....
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe particles are called electrons and they are negatively charged.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe atomic nucleus is positively charged because it contains protons.

Is it true or false Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom?
False. A proton is found inside the nucleus of an atom.
Is it true or false that an alpha particle has a double positive charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
It is true
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
Is it true or false that a gamma ray is a very high-speed particle with no charge?
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?
false
An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?
No. That would be called an ion.
An alpha particle is equivalent to a hydrogen nucleus. True False?
False. An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
If an particle hits a gold nucleus in a head on collision the particle will not be deflected very much?
False, the particle will be deflected immensely.
What particle in a atom has no charge?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge and neutrons carry no charge because they contain a proton and a electron which causes the charge to remain neutral. EDIT: the above is false, well at least the part about the neutron Neutrons, 1 up quark 2 down. No charge, slightly more mass than proton Electrons, Elementary particle,Negative charge. 1/1836 mass of proton Protons 2 up quark 1 down. positive charge.
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
Is it true or false Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom?
False. A proton is found inside the nucleus of an atom.
The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic number true or false?
False as a generalization but true for some isotopes. The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus, which may coincidentally be the same as the number of neutrons but is not required to be.
What type of subatomic particle don't have a charge?
The subatomic particle that does not have a charge is the Neutron.The Proton carries a positive charge and an Electron, a negative.
In alpha decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same element but in beta decay the parent and daughter element are always the same?
No. In both the cases the element would definitely change. As alpha particle comes out then the new element would have two less in atomic number where as in beta particle decay the new element will have one higher in atomic number.
Is it true or false that an alpha particle has a double positive charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
It is true
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
