What are the number of neutrons protons and electrons in radium?
Is an electron just a name for both neutrons and protons?
No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
Which best describes an atom of carbon-13?
An atom of carbon with 6 protons and 7 neutrons.
Is there anything smaller than an atom?
Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons... so these are smaller than the atom :) - there are stuff smaller than the protons, neutrons and electrons too - just in case thatz your next question... Google.com is your best bet!
How many protons and neutrons does radium have?
88
Which term best describes alpha particles?
Which best describes the relationship between subatomic particles in any neutral atom?
Protons are electrically positive charged, electrons are electrically negative charged, neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of electrons and protons is equal in a neutral atom. Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus, electrons on electron shells, forming electron clouds.
What is best described as an atom?
A core of protons and neutrons surronded by electrons.
What are the number of neutrons protons and electrons in radium?
What term best describes the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Atomic mass
An atomic orbital is best described as?
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electron. Both the protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus. Electrons reside in orbitals around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.

The sum of the protons and the neutrons will tell the atomic what?
Atomic mass number of the atom. The best way to remember it is: the majority of the mass of an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons (the electrons are very light!), therefore the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
What is the best description of how an atom is organized?
A small core of nucleons (protons and neutrons) surrounded by an attenuated cloud of electrons.
What best describes the nucleus of atom?
Nucleus is the centre of an atom and consists of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons.
