Center of atom?
The center of an atom is the atomic nucleus.
What makes up an atom's nucleus?
Within an atom's nucleus are protons and neutrons. The mass of a atom is consisted majorly from protons and neutrons. If your looking further into the atom's nucleus you'll run into "quarks".
The small central part of an atom?
The "dense" central portion of an atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons.
What is a particle that revolves around the nucleus of an atom?
a particle that revolves around the nucleus of an atom is an electron Electrons
What part of the atom contains most of its mass?
The nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, contains most of an atom's mass.
Who provided evidence for the existence of the nucleus in an atom?
Ernest Rutherford
Who provided evidence for the nucleus in an atom?
Ernest Rutherford
What did Ruthford's Gold Foil Experiment provide evidence for?
The experiment provided evidence for a positively charged bundle in the center of the atom. We now know this to be the nucleus.
Is it true of the existence of other particle called quarks in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes.
Who was the first scientist to provide evidence that an atom has a nucleus?
Neil Bohr
Who provided evidence for the neutron in an atom?
Ernest Rutherford predicted the nucleus in 1920, 12 years later his assistant James Chadwick found and confirmed it.
What did Sir Ernest Rutherford invent?
Ernest Rutherford discovered that the nucleus of an atom has a positive charge and discovered the evidence to show the electron field surrounding the nucleus in an atom.
Is there one protons and nucleus in atom?
Yes, all atoms have a nucleus! The Nucleus is the part of the atom which holds the Protons and Neutrons, the Electrons orbit the "atomic nucleus". The atomic nucleus is different to the nucleus of a cell, which holds genetic information and allows the cell to operate. Answer above provided by Runehally16.
Why is indirect evidence important in studying the structure of the atom?
The atom is far too small to ever be examined directly. The diameter of a typical nucleus is only about 1/100,000 of the diameter of the entire atom and if an atom were magnified until it was as large as a football stadium, the nucleus would be about the size of a grape. Nearly all evidence of an atom's structure has been theorized.

What did Sir ernest Rutherford do?
He identified the alpha particle as a helium atom and used it in postulating the existence of the atomic nucleus.
What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
