What are everyday uses for californium?
Californium is one of the few transuranium elements that have practical applications. Most of these applications exploit the property of certain isotopes of californium to emit neutrons. For example, californium can be used to help start-up nuclear reactors, and is employed as a source of neutrons when studying materials with neutron diffraction and neutron spectroscopy
How does a neutron have same number of protons and electrons?
a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
What happens when an atom gains or loses a neutron?
If this were to happen, which for most nuclei would be unbelievably unlikely, it would form a different isotope of the same element. I can't offhand think of any way a nucleus could gain or lose a neutron without something else happening at the same time. A neutron can change into a proton by emitting an electron (and an electron antineutrino), or a proton can absorb an electron and change into a neutron, but in both of these cases there's more going on than just the neutron number of the nucleus changing.
Is a particle with no change at all?
A Neutron has no charge at all.
What are four elements of a mineral?
atom,neutron,proton,electron
What is the elements neutron?
A neutron is not an element it is a subatomic particle.
How strong are neutron stars?
Strong is not a term used for a neutron star. If you mean density, then see related question.
What does initiation of nuclear weapons mean?
starting the fission neutron chain reaction using some kind of pulsed neutron source.
What is the charge of a netron?
assuming you mean a "neutron" - it has no electrical charge.
What does it mean when a neutron has a neutral charge?
it has no chrage 0 (electrical)
Is it true that in an indivisual neutron atom the number of protons always equals the number of electrons?
There is no 'neutron atom'. If you mean 'neutral' atom, then the answer is yes.
Is a neutron a partial within an atom?
I do not know what you mean by "partial", but a neutron is a subatomic particle and neutrons can go into the make up of atomic nuclei.
What are the 3 atoms?
I think you mean subatoms, they are the neutron, proton & electron
Where is the neuton located in the atom?
It is located in the inside of the atom, if what you mean is neutron.
Is a proton more massive than a neutron?
Yes... if you mean is it bigger
Does a Netron have a negative charge?
I assume that you mean 'neutron.'NO!, a Neutron does not have any charge ... it's Neutral.It's the Electron that has the negative charge and, the Proton has a positive charge.
Is the center of an atom a neutron?
No the center of an atom (nucleus) is made up of both protons and neutrons.
