Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
How are istopes formed?
Isotopes are formed through variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
What causes the atom's nucleus to split?
- for spontaneous fission the cause is an inconvenient ratio between neutrons and protons- bombardment of the nucleus with particles, especially neutrons
How do the isotopes of an atom differ?
The nucleus contains differing numbers of neutrons.
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A radioactive atom is an atom of an element with an unstable nucleus.
Are electrons found in the nucleus of an atom?
electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom
Where is the nucleus in a Krypton?
The nucleus of any atom is in the center; the nucleus of krypton has 36 protons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotopes.
How is the nucleus of a lanthanum atom different from the nucleus of a barium atom?
One more proton in La,and one (or more) neutrons, depending on what isotopes are compared.There is also 1 extra electron but that's not in nucleus.
Physicist and their contribution?
Rutherford. Discovered small charged nucleus of atom. Split the atom.
What is the relationship between isotopes and nucleus?
An isotope has either more or fewer neutrons than a stable atom, and neutrons are part of the nucleus.
How do isotopes on an element differ from one antoher?
The difference is the number of neutrons contained in the atom's nucleus
How many isotope of magnesium differ from normal atom?
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
