What are the three parts of an atom?

The three main parts of an atom are the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus, and electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus.

If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?

Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.


What two parts of an atom is located in the nucleus?

What kind of subatomic particle does not make up the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons do not make up the nucleus of an atom. They orbit the nucleus at various energy levels.


How much of an atom volume does the nucleus make up?

The nucleus of an atom only makes up a tiny fraction of the total volume of the atom, typically less than 1%. The majority of an atom’s volume is composed of the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.


What is the core of an atom called?

Atoms are made of a nucleus that is surrounded by electron clouds. The nucleus is formed from all the atom's protons and neutrons. Proton and neutrons are made up of even smaller particles called quarks.


Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?

No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.


What particles in the nucleus of the atom?

The particles in the nucleus of an atom are the protonsand the neutrons. We call particles that make up the atomic nucleus nucleons, and this word is just a way to say "the particles that make up an atom's nucleus" in an abbreviated manner.


What parts of an atom make up the atom's atomic mass?

An atom's mass is located entirely in the nucleus. In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus, but because the mass of an electron is so insignificantly small, it's not counted when determining the total mass.


What is the nucleus in the center of a atom made of?

The center of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons it's called the nucleus.
