Protons and neutrons are always found in the nucleus of an atom. Scientists over the years have speculated the position of electrons. The currently accepted model is the Atomic Orbital Model. This model predicts that electrons are found in sub-orbitals which are positioned in subshells. These subshells are located between principle energy levels.

∙ 12y agoAtoms are composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons. neutrons and protons form a nucleus in the middle of the atom, which electrons rotate around in seperate electron shells. As one goes further from the nucleus of an atom, more electrons can be contained in each electron shell.

How can you figure out how many of each subatomic particle is in a atom has?
j
The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?
Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.
Which subatomic particle has a charge of 1 and a mass of 1 AMU?
Both one proton and one neutron each has a relative mass of 1 a.m.u.
What is the definition of a proton?
A proton is a part of an atom. The other parts of an atom are the neutron, and electrons. It's an electrically charged particle. It is positive. It is located within the nucleus of the atom, which is about one ten thousandth of the diameter of the atom itself but contains virtually all of the atom's mass. The number of protons in the nucleus determine the element; for example, if the nucleus contains 8 protons it is an oxygen atom. The protons are subtracted from the total atom mass, and therefore, the other mass are the neutrons. A proton is one of the three basic "building blocks" of the atom (along with the neutron and electron). It is a subatomic particle with a unit positive charge. (The unit of charge is 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb.) It has a diameter of 1.6 to 1.7 x 10-15 meter. It's mass is about 1.6726 x 10-27 kilogram. It is a fermion with a + 1/2 spin, and is, therefore, a baryon. It is composed of two up quarks and a down quark, and it is held together by the strong interaction (strong force). It is a nucleon, a particle of the atomic nucleus (with the neutron), and, as such will undergo mass deficit (along with any other nucleons) to fuse into an atomic nucleus. The resultant mass lost in fusion is the residual strong force, and this is the nuclear binding energy, nuclear glue, that holds an atomic nucleus together. The electrostatic repulsion between protons creates an upper limit on the size of an atomic nucleus because of the limits of this binding energy. By itself, the proton is a hydrogen nucleus. It's discovery is generally credited to Ernest Rutherford (in 1918). It has an antiparticle called the antiproton. The definition of the word proton is "a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign."
What subatomic particle number determines the identity of an element?
The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
Where is each subatomic particle located inside an atom?
it is located around an atom orbiting it

How can you find the number of each subatomic particle found in an atom of a particular element?
By looking at the atom.
The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?
Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.
Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
What is the charge on each subatomic particle?
For the atom: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
What is the class of matter that has more than one kind of particle?
The answer depends on what you mean by a "particle". Everything is made of atoms and each atom is made from a number of different subatomic particles. Therefore, everything is made up different subatomic particles.
What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
What subatomic particle contributes alomst no weight to an atom?
The subatomic particles that contribute most almost no weight to an atom are electrons at various energy levels. Isotopes of the same element differ from each other only by the number of neutrons.
How many of each subatomic particle would be present in an atom of helium with a mass of 4 amu?
2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons
How many of each subatomic particle are in an atom of xenon with mass number 132?
Xenon 132 has 54 protons and 54 electrons and 78 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons does an atom have and where are each of these subatomic particles located?
Atoms can have anywhere from 1 to somewhere around 260-290 subatomic particles. The protons and neutrons are located in a clump in the center of the atom, surrounded by rapidly revolving electrons
