the Atomic Mass is made of protons and neutrons. When these particles are together, they are known as nucleons. carbon-12 contains 12 nucleons.

In which group do particles contain only nucleons?

Protons and neutrons because they are in the nucleus, electrons are around the nucleus.


Is the electron a nucleon or not?

The term nucleon signifies any particle that is present inside the nucleus of an atom. We know that the nucleus of any atom contains only two particles which are proton and neutron whereas electron are present outside the nucleus revolving around it. Hence, electron is not a nucleon.


Is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom equal to the number of electrons in its outer rings?

Only for the isotope hydrogen-1. All other nuclei contain at least one neutron; the number of electrons present outside the nucleus is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus; and both protons and neutrons are nucleons. Therefore, in any nucleus except that of hydrogen-1, the number of nucleons in the nucleus is greater than the number of electrons outside the nucleus.


What contains only one species?

A monotypic genus contains only one species.

What are protons and neutrons called?

Protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons, which are particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are responsible for the majority of an atom's mass and exist alongside electrons in an atom.


What are all the particles present inside the nucleus?

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are collectively known as nucleons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons are neutral. These particles are further comprised of quarks, which are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons.


Does prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells contains nucleus?

No. Only the eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.


Why is it said that the nucleus of an atom contains almost the entire mass and not the entire mass?

Yes. An electron, one of those little negatively charged critters that forms up around the nucleus of an atom, has little mass compared to the nucleons. (Nucleons are protons and neutrons - the particles that make up the nucleus). In fact, the mass of an electron is less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton. All the electrons in any given atom account for only a tiny amount of the total mass of that atom. Almost all the mass is accounted for the protons and neutrons (if any) in the nucleus. It's that simple, and you already show that you know it.


What three subatomic particles are found in the nucleus?

The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.


What taxon contains the fewest species?

The order of the Monotremata contains the fewest species, with only five extant species. These species include the platypus and four species of echidnas.


Why are protons situated only in nucleus?

It is protons and neutrons that are known as nucleons when they are considered as the building blocks of an atomic nucleus. Electrons are not considered nucleons. Electrons form up in orbitals around an atomic nucleus. It is the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of a given atom and not the electrons. A related question is linked below.
