Best Answer

Three subatomic particles found in atoms besides protons, neutrons, and electrons are up quarks, down quarks, and gluons. Up quarks and down quarks are the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons found in atomic nuclei. Gluons are the exchange particles that transfer the information regarding the strong nuclear force between the quarks.

What does the atomic number tell you besides the number of protons in one atom of an element?

There are three main parts to an Atom. The atom comprises of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The location of each are Protons and Neutrons at the core, and Electrons in the shell **oribits around the core.** Protons and Neutrons are equal in amount unless the atom/element is an isotope.


Why can't you see What is inside of an atom?

Atoms are the smallest forms of matter that still contain the same traits of the elements and substances they make up. You probably can't see much of the inside of an atom because that's all there is to see. There are also subatomic particles: neutrons and protons in the atom and electrons whirring around it. If there is something more in an atom, it's too small for us or any of our scanning tunneling microscopes to see at this time.


After drawing a Lewis structure one should?

Count the electrons in the structure to be sure that the number of valence electrons used equals the number available.Be sure the central atom and other atoms besides Hydrogen have an octet.


Why are the valence electrons of an atom the only electrons likely to be involved in bonding to other atoms?

It is because only certain (the outer) electrons are available for chemical bonding that they are called valence electrons. By definition, the electrons available for bonding are called valence electrons. The others are more tightly bound to the nucleus.


What element has a full valence shell with 8 electrons?

Krypton, and any other elements in the last column of the periodic table besides helium.

What are particles found in an atom besides protons neutrons and electrons?

photons carry the electromagnetic force that holds electrons to the nucleus.mesons carry the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.W & Z bosons carry the weak force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and mediate beta decay processes.quarks are inside the protons and neutrons.gluons carry the strong force that holds quarks together inside protons and neutrons.


Which particle is not found in the nucleus?

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.


What are the parts of the atom besides the neutron?

The nucleus which includes the protons and neutrons, and the electron cloud which contains the electrons. If you want to get into true quantum mechanics, then there are the quarks, the leptons, the bosons, gluons, etc.

Why isn't the electron inside the neutron?

If it were there could be no bonding between atoms because bonding is a result of transfering or sharing of electrons by atoms; besides quarks are already present inside a neutrons; if electrons were present inside a neutron they would repel each other, so there would need to be a force that keeps them together. There is a force that holds the nucleus together called the strong interaction mediated by gluons which wouldn't interact with electrons so the neutrons would be unstable.

What kind of energy is given off from nuclear fusion reaction and from a nuclear fission reaction?

Besides heat and light ? Pure radiation (gamma rays) and particles: alpha, beta, and neutrons (and neutrinos - we think {none actually detected yet except from the sun}).


Where can you get electrons besides from an electron gun or cathode ray tube?

Electrons are in atoms found even in the human body.


How are elements and compounds the different?

Elements contain only one type of atom (atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds contain more than one element, and thus contain atoms with different numbers of protons. Compounds can be converted into elements, but elements are not reducible to anything simpler (besides subatomic particles).


Why does helium atom have no electrical charge?

Helium has 2 protons and 2 electrons. So the charge is neutralized. Besides, all atoms have neutral charge as the number of protons and electrons will be the same


When an atom changes into an ion besides the number of electrons what changes?

The electrical charge; also the ionic radius is different from the atomic radius.
