The force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus of small atoms is?
Less than
Is the strong nuclear force that causes protons and neutrons in the nucleus to attract each other is not quite as strong as the electric repulsion between protons?
The strong nuclear force is stronger than the electric repulsion between protons at very small distances within the nucleus. It is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus despite the electromagnetic repulsion between protons.
Do neutrons in the atoms nucleus keep two or more protons from moving apart?
Yes, neutrons help bind protons together in the nucleus through the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons, preventing them from moving apart due to their mutual repulsion.
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
Are the protons and neutrons tight or loose in the nucleus of most atoms?
Protons and neutrons are tightly bound together in the nucleus of most atoms through the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons, keeping the nucleus stable.
A particle with zero charge found in the nucleus of an atom is the?
Neutron Found in the nucleus of atoms.
How do electrostatic forces affect the nucleus?
Electrostatic forces within the nucleus primarily play a role in holding the protons together due to the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons, allowing nuclei to stay intact. The electrostatic forces between protons and electrons also contribute to the stability of atoms.
Is tin a element that has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms or is lead a element that has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms?
Lead has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms compared to tin. Lead has 82 protons while tin has 50 protons in its nucleus.
Strong nuclear forces act over what distances within atoms?
The strong nuclear force acts over very short distances within atoms, typically within the nucleus itself, which is on the order of femtometers (10^-15 meters). This force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus despite the electrostatic repulsion between protons.
How do protons and neutrons hold an atom together?
The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.
Why atoms with larger atomic number are unstable?
The bigger the atom the more shells or layers it will have. This means that the outer atoms are further from the centre and so the pull on them from the centre is less strong and so they break up more easily.
Why do the protons stay together in the nucleus rather than fly apart?
There is a "strong nuclear force" that keeps it together. In larger atoms like uranium, this force is weaker and may break, resulting in fission. If you found this helpful please click trust below
