They are the subatomic particles from which the carbon atom (an all other atoms) is made they have no color. The color of a substance is an emergent phenomenon and not dependent on the properties of its subatomic constituents.

Electrons, protons, and neutrons are all smaller than wavelength and therefore can not be seen,and color is a property of visible objects.

Protons neutrons and electrons of beryllium?

what do you mean the "colors" they don't have any specific colors What we perceive as colors is due to how the material interacts with light. A proton is a proton. An electron is an electron. A neutron is a neutron. They don't change character depending on which element they are in.


What color is the neutron of an atom?

No one really knows. We know that atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, but their colors are a completely different matter.


How do you make a model atom?

Use ping-pong balls, toothpicks, wire and glue, and paint the balls different colors to represent the protons, neutrons and electrons.


What color would you use for fluorine atom model for the neutrons and protons?

I would use green for the neutrons and blue for the protons. It doesn't really matter as long as you make them different colors.


Why do different atoms produce different colors of light?

Atoms consist of neutrons, protons and electrons. The electrons form 'clouds' around the nuclei of atoms, and in general the nuclei consist of protons and neutrons. The electrons in the outer clouds have more energy than those in the inner clouds. When an electron 'falls' to a lower cloud it a packet of energy is released which might consist of light. Since the energy levels between the clouds vary between atoms the energies released when an electron falls vary from atom to atom. Frequency is equivalent to energy level, and frequency of light is equivalent to colour on the light spectrum.


How are silver and gold different?

Gold & Silver are different because they have different numbers of protons and electrons in their atoms.


Gloria is making a model of an atom she is using three different colors to represent the three basic particles tthat make up an atom.Which particles should she display in the nucleus of the atom?

Protons and Neutrons, because these are the elements inside the atom that are in the nucleus and they are made up of 49 protons and 49 neutrons in a electron cloud.


How are individual elements on the periodic table distinguished from each other?

Elements can be distingushed apart by the amount of sub-atomic particles in one atom of that element. Every element has a differemt amount of electrons, so you can count the amount of electrons to identify an element. You can also look at the amount of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every element has a different amount of these, too.


How do you make an edible carbon atom?

Just prepare some item of healthy food and you have before you edible carbon. You can't make atoms, unless you have some equipment in your basement lab that you really shouldn't have. Oh. You might mean making a model of an atom. Maybe you could use red and white grapes and raisins and connect them with tooth picks. 6 red grapes as protons, 6 white grapes as neutrons, and 6 raisins as electrons. You might think of a better way to get the grapes to stay together. Maybe you could use small marshmallows of 2 colors, or perhaps pieces of diced ham/beef and diced turkey.


What is the chemical make-up of diamond?

Understanding the chemistry of a diamond requires a basic knowledge of the element carbon. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, balanced by 6 electrons. The electron shell configuration of carbon is 1s22s22p2. Carbon has a valence of 4, since 4 electrons can be accepted to fill the 2p orbital. Diamond is made up of repeating units of carbon atoms joined to four other carbon atoms via the strongest chemical linkage, cavalent bonds. Each carbon atom is in a rigid tetrahedral network where it is equidistant from its neighboring carbon atoms. The structural unit of diamond consists of 8 atoms, fundamentally arranged in a cube. This network is very stable and rigid, which is why diamonds are so very hard and have a high melting point.

Carbon takes on many forms and colors. All living things are carbon-based life forms. Pure carbon is jet-black.
