In atoms protons and neutrons are found where?

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Together, they make up the majority of an atom's mass.


If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?

A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.


Where are protons found in the nucleus of an atom?

Protons, and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the centre of an atom where most of the mass is found. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge.


Protons and neutrons are?

Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge. Together they make up the majority of an atom's mass.

The two particles that are found in the nucleus are?

Assuming you mean the nucleus of an atom, the two particles found are protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge (with a magnitude of +1 elementary charge), while neutrons carry no charge.


If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?

The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge


What are the three different tiny particles that make up an atom?

Electrons (Negative charge), Neutrons (Neutral charge), and Protons (Positive charge)


Two particles make up the center of an atom?

The center of an atom is made up of two particles: protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive electric charge, while neutrons have no charge. Together, they make up the nucleus of an atom.
