Which fundamental particle is responsible for isotope?
SritamaGhoshfb3207
The fundamental particle responsible for isotopes is the neutron. As such, different isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number (since the protons never change), but have a different atomic weight/mass dependent on the differing number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
For instance, the element carbon has 6 protons (a different number of protons would yield a different element); therefore, carbon has an atomic number of 6. However, there are 15 known isotopes of carbon that all have a different number of neutrons and thus a different atomic weight. Of those 15 isotopes, only three occur naturally, so let's use these in the example. These three naturally-occurring isotopes are carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14 (the numbers represent the isotope's atomic weight). These isotopes have 6, 7 and 8 neutrons, respectively, paired with the 6 protons in the nucleus.
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 6
------------------------------
Carbon 12 (6 + 6 = 12)
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 7
------------------------------
Carbon 13 (6 + 7 = 13)
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 8
------------------------------
Carbon 14 (6 + 8 = 14)

When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.

Is there any fundamental particle inside an electron?
A fundamental particle (elementary particle) is one that is not made up of other particles. An electron is a good example of a fundamental particle. On the other hand, protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles. They are made up of fundamental particles called quarks (two up and one down for the proton, and two down and one up for the neutron).Assuming electron as fundamental particle,what is it's primary ,in order to sense it's environment?
Is alpha particle non fundamental?
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.
Why is the electron a fundamental particle?
Electron is fundamental particle because hi isnt made up of smaller particles like proton.
