It is the center of an atom. It contains at least one proton, and usually both protons and neutrons, and is positively charged. Most of the mass of the atom is found in the nucleus, as protons and neutrons are much more massive than the electrons, which are found in the electron cloud outside of the nucleus.

Where is the nucleus?
In physics and chemistry, in the center of the atom.
What is a definition for the word 'nuclear'?
Of or relating to the nucleus. In the context of chemistry, the nucleus is the center of atom, composed of protons and neutrons. Nuclear chemistry deals with reactions that involve the nucleus, for example in which neutrons are either added to or removed from the nucleus of an atom. There are other meaning, but they generally refer to something central or the core of something (the nuclear family is composed of parents and children only).
What makes up the centre of an atom in chemistry?
The center of the atom is the nucleus formed from protons and neutrons.
Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
What were the defects of Rutherfords experiment?
It doesn't explain why electrons which are negative don't collapse into the positive nucleus. sources: Chemistry/physics teacher
What type of chemistry involves the nucleus of an atom?
nuclear chemistry
Do cells have a nucleus?
Yes, the nucleus is like the brain of the cell
Where is the nucleus?
In physics and chemistry, in the center of the atom.
Is a nucleus a plant?
Not in chemistry. A nucleus is the center of the atom. In biology a nucleus is the center of a cell. Any cell, plant or animal.
Differentiate nuclear chemistry from other branches of chemistry?
The one difference that nuclear chemistry has from the other branches is its study of the nucleus (core) of the atom. Nuclear chemistry will deal with how the nucleus can split, absorb and release energy as radiation, and decompose to form different elements.
What does the word nucleus mean in chemistry?
the nucleus of an atom is the central section that contains protons and neutrons
Is a nucleus a common element?
In chemistry, the nucleus is the center of an atom and contains the protons and neutrons. In biology, the nucleus is the cell organelle that contains the genetic material.
What is nucleus according to chemistry?
It is a component of an atom that consists of protons and neutrons.
How does nuclear chemistry differ from traditional chemistry?
Traditional chemistry deals mainly with the interaction of elements, compounds, and energy. Nuclear chemistry studies the nucleus of atoms, and how it can split, decompose, and interact with energy.
What is radii in chemistry?
The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outer "edge" of the electron cloud.
What is antibonding in chemistry?
Antibonding is a bonding in which the electrons are away from the nucleus and which is higher in energy.
What is a gluon in chemistry?
In chemistry gluons play no part. Gluons are elementary particles that "glue" other fundamental particles together within the nucleus.
