What is the middle of an atom called?
The nucleus is in the middle, which consists of neutrons and protons. The electron cloud surrounds it in order to create a balance of electrical charge between the protons and the electrons. A cluster of protons and neutrons.
Of elements in the same group those at the top of the periodic table have higher ionization energies because?
C.their atomic radius is small D.layers of electron shells shield the protons' attractive force fewer layers of electron shells create less shielding of the protons' attractive force
How does radioactivity create new elements?
One way that elements decay is by alpha-emission. That means that the nucleus of the atom spews out alpha particles. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons, like a helium nucleus. Of course, once an alpha particle is emitted, the number of protons in the nucleus decreases, and the element changes with the number of protons.
1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
How can you build an aluminum atom for science?
An atom model should include all of the major parts of an atom, consisting of: a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud. A creative way to create this model would be to use different types of candy to represent protons, neutrons, and electrons. In order to suspend the electron cloud and show that it is not actually attached to the nucleus, you could use rings made from pipe cleaners to attach the electron candies to. Use invisible fishing line to suspend the nucleus in the center of the electron cloud.

Protons and neutrons are found in this part of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. These subatomic particles "bond" together during fusion to create the nucleus.
Of elements in the same group those at the top of the periodic table have higher ionization energies because?
C.their atomic radius is small D.layers of electron shells shield the protons' attractive force fewer layers of electron shells create less shielding of the protons' attractive force
When will protons move?
Under normal circumstances protons will not move; they are contained in the nucleus of atoms. However, in the case of the element hydrogen, which is made of one proton and one electron, it is possible to create a hydrogen plasma. In this state, the electron is stripped off the proton and a "naked" proton is left. This naked proton, being electrically charged, can be made to move by a magnetic field.
The energy released in the mitochondrial electron transport chain is used to transport protons into the?
matrix. to create a concentration gradient
How to do ionization using electron beam?
An electron beam fires electrons at an atomic structure, where the negative charge of the electron becomes electrostatically attracted to the positive charge of the protons in sn atom's nucleus. The electron begins orbiting the atomic nucleus on an energy level with other electrons, the total number of which determines the electrical charge of the resulting ion. Simply put, adding 1 electron to a neutrally charged particle (an atom) will add 1 negative charge to the overall structure. So, by firing electrons at an atom, you will only ever create positive ions.
What does an electron mean?
An electron is a negatively charged particle found in an atom. Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom. These electrons can also be made into bonds to create molecules.

In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
Where are the proton neutron and electron located and what charge do they have?
AtomsThe charge on a proton is +1. Its location is the nucleus, and its mass is 1.67262 x 10-27 kg. Protons have an effective size of about 1.2 x 10-15 m, and the nucleus is roughly the cube root of the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) times that typical proton size, usually still on the order of 10-15 to 10-14 m in size. The charge on an electron is -1. It is found in a region around the nucleus called the electron cloud. The mass of an electron is 9.10939 x 10-31 kg (1836 times lighter than the mass of a proton). The typical size of the electron cloud is usually 5 x 10-11 to 10-10 m in size, about 100,000 times larger than the nucleus.The charge of a neutron is 0, and it is located in the nucleus along with the proton(s). The mass of the neutron is 1.67493 x 10-27 kg.The elementary charge is equal to 1.60218 x 10-19 Coulombs. The proton and electron each carry this charge, but the sign of the charge will be positive for the proton, and negative for the electron.Note: The mass of the proton and the mass of the neutron apply to the individual particles. When protons and neutrons are combined (fused) in a nucleus to make an atom, they all give up a bit of their mass (mass deficit) to create binding energy (or nuclear glue). This is necessary to offset the repulsion of the protons (which are like charges, and like charges repel), and it is absolutely necessary for this to happen to make the nucleus stick together.See the Related Questions for more information about the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom.
What move in rings or orbits around the edge of an atom and carry a negative charge equal to the positive found in the nucleus?
electrons do, but they don't always equal the charge of the positive protons in the nucleus. sometimes the negative charge is lesser or greater, and that creates an unstable particle which immediately sheds the electrons or protons creating the unbalance as soon as the unbalance occurs. Chain reactions of this process create a type of nuclear reaction.
What is an atomic number. how is it used to create a periodic table?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It defines the element. No two different elements can have the same number of protons. It is used to lay out the periodic table because the table shows the elements in increasing numbers of protons.
