Protons are found with neutrons packed tightly in the nucleus.
Surrounding the nucleus is the electron cloud, where, of course, electrons are found.
Need more info. and research? Read on...An electron can also come from the nucleus IF an atom undergoes transmutation (changes into a different kind of atom).Atoms "add up" to elements. Elements are made of one type of atom.
Gold is made of gold atoms, silver of silver atoms. If the atom undergoes transmutation, this means a proton has left the nucleus. The atom is no longer a "gold" or "silver" atom. This happens to unstable atoms.
Still Not Enough? More research:isotope - one of 2 or more atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons), but with different numbers of neutrons(i.e. the isotopes of carbon are carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. They all have 6 protons, and different numbers of neutrons.)
The number in carbon-12 is the mass number. The mass number = protons + neutrons. (Electrons have virtually no mass or weight, so they do not effect the the mass number.)
Unstable AtomsAtoms become unstable when there are more electrons then protons (or vice-versa). This will cause radioactive decay.Radioactive decay is when an atom loses particles and the atom undergoes transmutation.

elecron can move from atom to atom... yes
How do subatomic impact an atom?
impacts of the atom impacts of the atom impacts of the atom
What is the only subatomic particle that can jump from atom to atom?
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
What is the maening of atom?
atom is called atom because atom can't be subdiviided into pieces
What is an unstable atom?
An unstable atom is a radioactive atom.
Is nacl a atom?
no. na is an atom. cl is an atom. together they form nacl, a diatomic molecule :) and a grammar lesson for free, its an atom, not a atom.
What is bigger a neutral atom or a negative atom?
neutral atom
Is carbon in the inside a atom or outside an atom?
Carbon is an atom.
Which is the smallest atom?
The smallest atom is hydrogen.
How do you remove an electron from an atom?
You dont remove an electron from an atom. Its kept there by the bonds of the atom. However, you can split an atom from an atom.
What is substitution reaction in organic chemistry?
Is the direct displacement of atom or group of atom by atom or group of atom.
