Why are neutrons used as nuclear bullets to cause nuclear disintegration of an unstable nucleus?
Neutrons have no charge. As a result, they are not deflected by the positive charge of the nucleus or the negative charge of the electron cloud. They have the best chance of interacting with the nucleus and further destabilizing it, causing it to split.
Does helium of a charge?
Helium atom has no charge as all atoms are electrically neutral. But the nuclear charge of helium is 2 as it has 2 protons in its nucleus.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
positive charge A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.
Why are neutrons considered ideal particles for nuclear fission?
Uncharged, therefor not repelled by positive charge of nucleus.
Is it the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more energy it has?
Yes, when an effective nuclear charge increases it does pull the electrons closer to the nucleus. An electron is a negatively charged part of an atom.
What particle has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nuclear particle that has no charge is the neutron.

What keeps neutrons of no charge in the nucleus?
the strong nuclear force
Which particle determines the nuclear charge?
The nuclear charge is the term given to the electric charge on the nucleus, and it is simply found by counting the number of protons.
Why nuclear charge increases when atomic number increases across a period?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The higher the number the higher the nuclear charge
Does helium of a charge?
Helium atom has no charge as all atoms are electrically neutral. But the nuclear charge of helium is 2 as it has 2 protons in its nucleus.
How is the nuclear charge determined?
the charge of protons in the nucleus (or the atomic #)
How is the concept of effective nuclear charge used to simplify the numerous electron- electron repulsions in a many electron atom?
a) How is the concept of effective nuclear charge used to simplify the numerous electron-electron repulsions in a many-electron atom?Effective Nuclear Charge- the (net) positive charge experienced by an electron in a many electron atom. This charge is not the full nuclear charge. It accounts for the shielding of the nucleus by other electrons in the atom.The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. These electrons are shielded from the nucleus by electron repulsions. The effective nuclear charge is less than the actual nuclear charge because the repulsions of the electrons needs to be taken into account.This is done in the equationZeff = Z (protons) - S (screening constant, the inner core amount of electrons)b) Which experiences a greater effective nuclear charge in a Be atom, the 1s electrons or the 2s electrons?The 1s electrons would have a greater nuclear charge. The number of electrons between the 1s electrons and the nucleus is less than the number of electrons between the 2s electrons and the nucleus. This means the screening constant is larger. When you subtract the larger amount of electrons from the amount of protons, 4, the difference will be less, meaning the value of the effective nuclear charge will be less.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
positive charge A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.
In chemistry what is an elements nuclear charge?
I think you mean its atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus
What is the charge of the atom in the nucleus?
The charge of an atom's nucleus is equal to the number of protons in that atom. (Always positive)The nucleus only contains protons and neutrons. The protons each have a positive charge of one. The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to charge.Example: Hydrogen has one proton so the nucleus has a charge of +1, where carbon has 12 protons so the nuclear charge is +12.
What is Electric quadrupole moment?
A nuclear electric quadrupole moment describes the effective shape of the ellipsoid of nuclear charge distribution. The quadrupole moment depends upon the size and charge of the nucleus.
