Are protons neutrons and electrons elements?
No. they all are sub atomic particles.
What is smaller than the periodic table of elements?
Particles smaller than elements are called sub atomic particles. Among these are: Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Photons, Gluons, Mesons, Bosons, Muons, Quarks, and more.
Why is it possible to separate substances in a mixture?
Because of the charges of particles and different atomic weights of both elements and compounds.
What would happen to a nucleus if the strong force was absent?
the particles would all become de-localised, and no elements would exist, just sub-atomic particles.
What are the sub-atomic particles of uranium?
Protons, neutrons and electrons - as in all the other chemical elements.
What is Radioactivity and artificial transmutations?
Radio Activity- The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles and energy Artificial Transmutations- The conversion of atoms of one element to atoms of another.
What elements that emit atomic particles are called?
radioactive elements
What is the table of atomic particles?
I have never heard of a "table of atomic particles". Are you referring to the periodic table of elements?
Are protons neutrons and electrons elements?
No. they all are sub atomic particles.
What kind of particles make up compounds?
Compounds are composed of elements. Elements are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons).
What determines the properties of elements?
the properties of elements are determined by the structures of their atoms.
What is the matter from which the elements were formed?
Elements are formed from atoms. Atoms are formed of protons, neutrons, and electrons (sub-atomic particles).
What elements are heavier than hydrogen?
All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.
Describes how transuranic elements are produced?
Transuranic elements (elements with a greater atomic no.>92) are produced by the bombardment of large nuclei with neutrons in a nuclear reactor and other small particles (ie. beta and alpha particles) in a particle accelerator.
What do you understand by the term radioactive?
It refers to elements that undergo nuclear fission and, in the process, emit atomic particles (alpha and beta particles) and energy (gamma rays).
What is smaller than the periodic table of elements?
Particles smaller than elements are called sub atomic particles. Among these are: Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Photons, Gluons, Mesons, Bosons, Muons, Quarks, and more.
Why is it possible to separate substances in a mixture?
Because of the charges of particles and different atomic weights of both elements and compounds.
