∙ 14y ago
The two principal components of an atom at a subatomic level are Protons and Neutrons. Protons are subatomic particles with a mass of 1 and a charge of 1+ Neutrons are subatomic particles with a mass of 1 and a charge of 0 or neutral

Where would you expect to find the 6 electrons in an atom of carbon?
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
The nucleus of a helium atom contains four subatomic particles how many neutrons does the helium atom have?
Helium has two neutrons and two protons in its nucleus.
What are two components of the head of a comet?
nucleus and coma
What are two main regions of an atom?
Nucleus and electrons
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
What are the three nuclear components of an atom?
Atoms have two nuclear components, protons & neutrons. Electrons orbit around (and sometimes through) the nucleus.
What is a Nucleus of a helium atom?
The nucleus of a helium atom contains two protons and two neutrons.
What are helium atom nucleus?
The nucleus of a helium atom is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles have the same composition as the nucleus of a helium atom.
What force holds an atom to its nucleus?
its proton and its nucleus will have two protons so its electron and atom
Where would you expect to find the 6 electrons in an atom of carbon?
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
Why atomic mass is concentrated on the center of the atom?
The atom is essentially made out of two main components: the nucleus and the electrons. The nucleus is in the centre of the atom whilst the electrons orbit it from a distance. The mass of the electrons is almost negligible, being almost 2000 times smaller than a proton, which is part of the nucleus. The nucleus, whilst having a minute mass, is still many times greater than the electrons. This is why the mass is concentrated in the centre on the nucleus.
The nucleus of a helium atom contains four subatomic particles how many neutrons does the helium atom have?
Helium has two neutrons and two protons in its nucleus.
When two hydrogen atoms bond the positive nucleus of one atom attracts the?
negative nucleus of the other atom
How alpha decay affects the parent ATOM....not the nucleus.?
Nuclear decay, etc. is defined for the nucleus. The atom consists mostly of the nucleus. If the nucleus loses two protons (in the case of alpha decay) it will have two charges less; eventually it will tend to lose two electrons to become an electrically neutral atom.
What are two components of the head of a comet?
nucleus and coma
What two atomic particles are in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the two particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit around the atom
What are the two regions of an atom What?
The two major regions of an atom are the atomic nucleus and the electron rings surrounding it.
