What contains an atom's protons and neutrons?

The nucleus of an atom contains what two particles?

nucleus....contains protons & neutrons

Are silver and gold made of protons?

Silver and gold are made of atoms. Each atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Are atoms are NOT composed of protons neutrons electrons xenon's?

All atoms have neutrons, protons and electrons.

What are in atoms?

Atoms are made of a nucleus, which contains subatomic particles called neutrons and protons, and electrons, which orbit the nucleus in certain areas.

Which atoms do not have any protons?

Atoms that do not have any protons are called neutrons.

Which of these is the part of an atom that contains the protons and neutrons?

The Nucleus. Which is inside the electron clouds.

What atomic particle that determines a specific isotope?

Atoms are electrically neutral. The number electrons and number of protons in neutral atoms are same. The number of neutrons in some atoms are same as the number of protons. Example: Calcium atom contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons. But some atoms contain same number of protons but different number of neutrons. For example carbon atoms exist in three forms - all contain 6 protons but some contain 6 neutrons, some 7 neutrons and others with 8 neutrons. These type of atoms are known as isotopes Definition of isotope: Atoms with same number of protons but different number of neutrons It shows that the different number of neutrons determines the existence of isotopes.

The nucleus of an atom contains the?

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. The nucleus is the central core of an atom where most of its mass is concentrated.

Do uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons?

Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.

Matter contains different types of what?

Matter contains different types of atoms, which are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These atoms can combine to form molecules and compounds.

What are the composition of atoms?

Speaking very generally, most atoms consist of a dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud away from the nucleus which contains electrons.

Protons electrons and neutrons are the three main parts of these?

Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the three main parts of atoms. In an atom, the nucleus contains the protons and neutrons, the electrons are found in shells around the nucleus. On the periodic table, the atomic number tells you the number of protons of an element.
