Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
Most of an atom is occupied by?
most of an atoms is taken up by
What is one atom of noble gas?
For example one atom of helium, one atom of argon etc.; all atoms contain a nucleus (formed from protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons.
Does the electron cloud contain proton's or neutrons or electrons?
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either. Just electrons, as the name suggests.
What do you call on the free moving particle around the nucleus of an atom?
The electron moves in a cloud around the nucleus of the particle. Most atoms have several electrons occupying different energy levels and moving in differently shaped orbitals. The electron has a negative charge.
What the main part of an atom?
Atoms contain a nucleus which has protons and neutrons and outside is a cloud of electrons.
How are an atoms nucleus and its electron cloud different?
An atoms nucleus contains the proton and neutron while the electron cloud contains its electrons
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
What is the negatively charged particle that is one of the three basic building blocks of atoms?
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
Which subatomic particles form a cloud around the nucleus?
Electrons are what form the cloud around a nucleus
Subatomic particle that circles an atoms nucleus?
Electrons orbit the atomic nucleus in an electron cloud.
What is around an atom's nucleus?
It is the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move in their orbits around the nucleus, and they form the cloud.
Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
What is the organization of atoms?
It is proton neutron in the nucleus and then electrons in the electron cloud.
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What does the electron cloud model described?
It describes the most likely locations of electrons in atoms.
What are tiny and filled in with space - and are the building blocks of all matter?
Atoms. The nucleus of an atom (containing protons and usually neutrons) is small and dense. Electrons can be considered to be a comparatively big cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. In this sense, atoms are tiny but mostly contain space.
