Electrons.

In the traditional, though not necessarily correct (physicists may debate it), view you can think of the electrons as like planets orbiting around a sun (the nucleus).

The electron(s) orbit in a series of rings, with each ring being able to hold up to a maximum number of electrons. The heavier atoms have more electrons (and more rings) than the lighter ones.

It is interesting to think how this model pictures the atom as mostly empty space. An atom, and therefore everything in the Universe, is mostly made up of absolutely nothing!

What particles (eletron or proton) are on the outside of all atoms?

Protons are particles in the atomic nucleus; electrons move around the nucleus.


What subatomic particles are found outside the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons are the subatomic particles found outside the nucleus of an atom. These negatively charged particles occupy the electron shells surrounding the nucleus and are involved in chemical bonding with other atoms.


What is every thing made out of?

Everything in universe is made of atoms, atoms has a nucleus which includes proton and neutron and with electron circling outside the nucleus.


Is there a positive charge in atoms with equal numbers?

Atoms have positive protons in the nucleus with an equal number of negative electrons around the outside the nucleus. No there is no charge on an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons.


What the main part of an atom?

Atoms contain a nucleus which has protons and neutrons and outside is a cloud of electrons.


Where can negative parts of atoms be found?

The negatively charged electrons are found revolving outside the nucleus.


Which subatomic particles has a negative charge and is located outside the nucleus?

The nucleus of an atom is made of neutrons and protons. Electrons move around the outside of the nucleus. The number of electrons around an atoms nucleus compared to the number of protons in the nucleus determines the charge of an atom, and the charge of an atom effects the way that an atom reacts with other atoms.


Why do electrons travel through atoms but protons do not?

Bcoz protons r inside nucleus and protons r outside nucleus and properties of element depends upon them.


How many electrons are outside the nucleus?

The number of electrons outside the nucleus depends on the atomic number of the element. For neutral atoms, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus to maintain a balanced charge.


Outside the nucleus are electrons that are involved in what?

Outside the nucleus, electrons are present in their orbits. The valence electrons present outside is involved in forming bonds with other atoms. (figure it out yourself scrub)


Who invented that electron is outside of the nucleus?

Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1909 demonstrated that atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center with electrons orbiting around it, suggesting that electrons are outside of the nucleus. This experiment led to the development of the planetary model of the atom.


Are electrons the atomic particles outside of the atoms nucleus?

Yes. The have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus (made up of protons [+] and neutrons [no charge]) in energy levels.
