Do neutrons in the atoms nucleus keep two or more protons from moving apart?

electrons


What is true about all anions?

Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.


What subatomic particle is located in the neucleus of an atom?

All atoms have various numbers of protons and neutrons in their nucleus apart from Hydrogen which only has one proton, and no neutrons. The nuclei are surrounded by shells of electrons. There are the same number of protons as electrons in an atom.


What are chemical substances that break apart into electronically charged particles?

Ions. An ion is an atom in which the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.


Why doesn't the nucleus come apart?

Because there are electrons that counter the effects of the nucleus. Basally the nuclease is + and the electrons are - thereby canceling each other out. The reason why the electrons aren't pulled in by the protons is because electrons are constantly rotating in different patterns and electron wave levels according the the electron wave model.


What are subatomic particle will attracted by a positively charged object?

Protons and electrons but strong forces keep them apart


Which is needed to hold matter together or break it apart?

Matter is quite difficult to break apart - as this requires dissociating the neutrons, protons and electrons. But at sufficiently high energies, it can be done. As in Super nova. Or in a linear accelerator.


Why don't protons repel each other and explode the nucleus?

The protons in an atomic nucleus do repel each other, but they are held together by the Strong Nuclear Force, which is stronger than the electrical force that pushes them apart. Within the nucleus, the Strong Force is more than 100 times stronger than the electric force.


What sets an atom of one element apart from the atoms of all other elements?

It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
