protons have a positive charge
Protons are smaller than atoms; in fact, protons are located within atoms.
No - in fact it is quite rare
20. The fact that it is an ion has nothing to do with the number of electrons.
An atom of any element contains a number of protons equal to the atomic number of the element. In fact, this is the definition of atomic number. For silicon, the specific value is 14.
Each atom of argon has exactly 18 protons and 18 electrons.
As all other chemical elements the atom of curium contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
Electrical energy is in fact Kinetic Energy because of the positive and negative charges(also knows as protons and neutrons) are rushing through the electrical part of atom(protons neutrons)
There are no electrons in a proton. Rather, the number of electrons equal the number of protons. Take Chlorine for example, there are 17 protons. Therefore; there are 17 electrons. And just for fact, there are 18 neutrons.
The atom has protons in it. They are positively charged and attract and hold the electrons. But the protons are snuggled in the nucleus, and they don't like each other. Like charges repel each other. There is a moderating force present that "makes" the protons stick together in there. That's the fact that suffests something else is at work. And it is the neutron that is the nuclear building block that makes it all stick together.
No. In fact the largest stable nucleus of any atom in it's non isotope form is Lead at 82 protons
The fact that it is composed of one type of atom, specifically, gold is composed of atoms with 79 protons each.
Proton is a good answer. In fact, photons and protons are intimately related --if a proton and an antiproton meet, they will annihilate and produce photons.
