What happen to atomic number and mass number of nucleus when it emits proton?
Both get decreased as At. no = No. of Protons & At. mass = No. of protons + No. of neutrons in the nucleus.
Do neutrons and protons make up the nucleus?
yes, neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. Outside of the nucleus are the electrons. The nucleus's charge is positive because of the protons.
Where is the subatomic particles located?
Protons and neutrons are in the center of an atom in the nucleus. Electrons are dispersed around the nucleus.
Do neutrons help make up the nucleus and have no charge?
Neutrons are in the nucleus with protons and they both make up the nucleus. And yes, neutrons have no charge.
What is the Location of proton and neutrons?
Electrons -- in energy levels outside the nucleus. Protons in the nucleus. Neutrons in the nucleus.
Is nucleus made of protons and neutrons?
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
What make up the nucleus and are made up of what?
The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.
Within an atom protons and neutrons are found in the?
Protons are found in nucleus, as neutrons are also.
What is the location of electrons protons and neutrons?
Electrons -- in energy levels outside the nucleus. Protons in the nucleus. Neutrons in the nucleus.
Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
What happened to the atomis nucleus as you move across the period?
it gets larger due to the addition of a proton and possibly neutrons.
How many neutrons are usually found in carbon nucleus?
There are 6 neutrons in a carbon nucleus.
