When it comes to characteristics of atoms, all of them have one nucleus and electrons that circulate in orbits around the nucleus. The nucleus has protons and neutrons.
The protons and neutrons of an atom are located in its nucleus, hence it carries a positive charge.
Neutral atoms do. Neutral atoms need the same number of positively charged protons in the nucleus to balance that same number of negatively charged electrons in their orbitals around that atom's nucleus.
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
you find the real atomic twist in the vein
The alpha particle is positively charged (as is the nucleus) and is heavy compared with the neutron that is neutral and lighter than the alpha particle.Another viewpoint:It depends what experiment the question is about. For example, over a hundred years ago, Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and some "bounced off" what we now call the nucleus of the atoms. However, about ten years later he did experiments in which alpha particles did indeed "split" atomic nuclei. So, sometimes alpha particles can certainly smash a nucleus apart.
Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)
tightly packed atoms
tightly packed atoms
Of course, as atoms are tiny the nucleus is even smaller, but it depends on the atom. Some atoms have large protons and neutons in the nucleus, others smaller ones.
All atoms have a nucleus.
The core of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons and neutrons, which are held together by strong nuclear forces. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons that orbit around it in specific energy levels.
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
The nucleus. It is composed of protons and neutrons, which are tightly bound together by the strong nuclear force. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons that orbit around it.
No, the nucleus is part of the atom.
a nucleus cant be a central atom. the nucleus is part of the atom. you are probably talking about why certain atoms are central atoms in a molecule and why some arent. the answer to that question is that the more electronegative atom will always appear as a central atom.
DNA within the nucleus is responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics
No
The strong nuclear force is the force that keeps the nucleus of an atom together. This force is stronger than the electromagnetic force, which tends to repel positive protons from each other in the nucleus.
