an atom is made up of a nucleus (that's the blob in the middle!) made up of protons and neutrons, with shells of electrons around it.

How many protons are found in carbon How many neutrons are found in carbon?

To be a carbon atom or ion, it must contain 6 protons. There may be either 6, 7 or 8 neutrons along with the protons in the nucleus.


What subatomic particles make up the atom?

protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.


Atomic mass is the number of what in the nucleus?

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons that are present in the nucleus While the number of protons and electrons remain constant in the neutral atom, the number of neutrons may vary within different atom species of the same element. As a result, the atomic mass for one atom may be different from another atom of the same element if the number of neutrons varies.


What is the difference between a proton electron and a nuetron?

Electrons have virtually no mass, are negatively electrically charged and are to be found orbiting an atoms nucleus in what are called electron shells. Protons and Neutrons are to be found the the atoms nucleus and they have mass. Neutrons have no electrical charge while Protons are positively charged. For every Proton to be found in an atom's nucleus, there is a matching electron in one of the electron shells so that overall the + and - electrical charges balance out. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines what element that atom makes. Neutrons stabilize the atom's nucleolus by separating the + charge protons and their number may vary in an atom - a variation in the number of neutrons in the nucleus with a given number of protons gives rise to atomic isotopes. Neutrons also have no charge. Protons and Neutrons are located in the nucleus. Protons=Positive. Neutrons=no charge. Electron=E-=Negatively charge.


Atoms composed of what?

Atoms have three subatomic particles; viz., protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons, and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom and are collectively named as 'nucleons'. Electrons are in energy shells outside and around the nucleus. Atoms with a different number of protns and different elements.


How many electrons protons and neutrons are there in each Hydrogen and oxygen atom?

A hydrogen atom typically has one proton and one electron, with no neutrons in its most common isotope. An oxygen atom has eight protons, eight electrons, and usually eight neutrons, though there are isotopes of oxygen that may have different numbers of neutrons.


What do protons and neutrons equal?

Protons and neutrons together make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are positively charged particles, while neutrons have no charge. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, while the total number of protons and neutrons together determine its atomic mass.


How many neutrons are in an atom of gold?

79 protons, 118 neutrons, atomic mass;197.967


In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?

In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the element.
