The additional neutrons don't exert electric forces. They do attract one another, and the protons, via the strong nuclear force.

What is the principal effect of the presence of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

It is suposed that neutrons are necessary for the stability of the atomic nucleus.


What is the effect of the electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?

protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX


What effect does an additional proton have on atomic size?

An additional proton, in the same period (row) makes the radius smaller and the nucleus bigger. It also changes the element.


Why transition metal have same atomic radius?

this is because the effect of the increased nucleus i roughly balanced by the greater screening effect produced by adding to the penultimate shell


Do protons repel protons in the nucleus of the cell if yes then how does the nucleus and atom stay and do not disintegrate?

protons and neutrons are both made of quarks each with their own +'ve and -'ve charges, at the close proximity that protons and neutrons are found their overall charges are no longer in effect it's the charges of the quarks within them that affect attraction and repulsion


What happenes to if you add more loads to a parallel circuit?

Adding additional branches will have no effect on the operation of any of the other branches, but the overall supply voltage will increase by the amount drawn by the additional loads.


What intensifies the greenhouse effect?

Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.


How has the greenhouse effect affected our climate?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is happening because we are adding additional carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap in heat from the sun making the earth warmer.


What effect does changing the number of particles in an atom have on the atoms identity?

An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and nuetrons are in the nucleus. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of an element. For example, the carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. If the numbe of protons were to change, it would no longer be carbon.


Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?

No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.


What three factors effect the nuclear charge?

The stability of a nucleus depends on the ratio of protons to neutrons. It's not a simple ratio that's the same for all atomic numbers, it varies. For small atomic numbers, 1:1 is about right. For higher atomic numbers, more neutrons are needed.


Why do scientists say that electrons most effect an atom's size while protons and neutrons most effect an atom's mass?

electrons buzz around the atomic nucleus. low level/lower energy electrons have orbits tighter/closer to the nucleus, but higher/more excited electrons have a broader orbit ie: further away from the nucleus. this looks a little like a small or big cloud around the nucleus, making it look bigger. the protons and neutrons form the nucleus, and the futher along the periodic table you move, the more of them there are in each atom. because they have mass, more of the means more mass, and I'm pretty sure that they have more mass than electrons. it is said that protons and neutrons are made up of subatomic particles, like quarks, which have no mass. quantum physicists at the moment claim that bosons hold these quarks together, and another undiscovered boson gives them mass
