What does the nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?
The nucleus of an atom, having a positive charge, exerts an attractive force on the atom's negative electrons.
What does a nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?
Nothing. Neither atoms nor their components (e.g. nucleus, electrons) want anything. They have no will or thought of any kind. Anthropomorphizing natural phenomena in this way only interferes with proper understanding of reality.
Why does the electron of an atom not attracted by its own nucleus?
It is attracted by its own nucleus. It is the vector energy, mcv, that prevents it from falling into the nucleus. The vector energy creates an centrifugal forces that balances the nucleus centripetal forces : e^2zc/2r^2 = mcv/r cos(RV) provides the balance and the redshift and the redshift for electrons cos(RV) = alpha/n. The cos(RV) is the tangent angle needed to balance the attraction of the nucleus.
Part of the atom that contains protons and neutrons is called?
Surely it's just a nucleus, as every version of an element is an isotope in its own right, and the atomic and molar masses are just an average made by relative abundance...hope this helps.
Does a nucleus contain its own DNA?
No, it has DNA in it but not its own.
What does the nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?
The nucleus of an atom, having a positive charge, exerts an attractive force on the atom's negative electrons.
Why is equipment needed to change the nucleus of an atom?
You don't really need equipment to change the nucleus of an atom. If the atom is radioactive, then it is inherently unstable, and it will change of its own accord, and on its own time frame, relative to half-life.
What does a nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?
Nothing. Neither atoms nor their components (e.g. nucleus, electrons) want anything. They have no will or thought of any kind. Anthropomorphizing natural phenomena in this way only interferes with proper understanding of reality.
Can you find a nucleus on its own in nature?
Yes, but you really don't want to. The only nucleus that can be found in nature is the alpha particle, emitting through nuclear decay. This is the nucleus of a helium atom and when it hits, you, it steals two electrons and ionizes your skin. This causes radiation burns.
Makes up protons neutrons and electrons?
An atom is composed of electrons(-), protons(+), and neutrons( ). The nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons, and the electrons surround it.
Which number associated with an atom is a characteristic property?
Atomic number is a characteristic property of an atom. Each element has its own unique atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Which of the following is correct about the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom in most cases contains protons and neutrons although it can, in the simplest case, contain just one proton.
How many times greater is the diameter of an atom than the diameter of its nucleus?
Well it is not a fixed ratio, each element has its own diameter for the atom and nucleus depending on atomic number and atomic weight. but an idea can be given: for a certain elemnt the atom daimeter is 225 picometer and the nucleus diameter is 6 femtometer ,the ratio would be ( 225x 10^ - 12) /(6x 10^ - 15)= 37500.
Why electrons rotate?
It rotates around it's own axis and revolves around the nucleus. In Hydrogen atom it revolves around the proton.
Does each element have its own atomic number?
Yes. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus, which actually defines which element it is.
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
Is the number of protons within an atom of an electron is equal to its atomic mas?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is its atomic number. Each element has its own unique atomic number. An individual atom's atomic mass is the sum of the masses of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.
