Best Answer

Electrons are not part of the nucleus, but they orbit the protons there because protons and electrons have opposite electrical charges.

What are the basic parts of an atom?

The atom has a nucleus in the middle made up of protons and neutrons. This nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons which inhabit different energy levels at different distances form the nucleus. The electrons are negatively charged, the protons are positively charged and the neutrons are electrically neutral. An atom always has the same number of electrons as it does protons, so the atom itself is electrically neutral.


Are Eletrons are found inside the nucleus?

no they are found around the nucleus


Are the protons and neutrons attached to the nucleus of the manganese element?

Yes, 25 protons and 30 neutrons form the nucleus of Manganese's most stable isotope.


Are protons and neutrons located in the center of a nucleus in and atom?

Yes they are, remember electrons are the ones floating AROUND the atom. Since they are negative and positive is in the middle in this case the protons (sounds like positive) and nucleus is like attached to the protons. Well not attached but you get the idea.


How many protons and eletrons does carbon have?

count the number of protons which will be equal to number of electron.


Do protons have nucleus?

Protons haven't a nucleus.


How does the nucleus connect to protons?

The nucleus connects to protons since protons are in the nucleus, and so are neutrons.


How can a proton be moved from one location to another?

The protons are attached to the nucleus (center of the atom) and therefore don't move


Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?

Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.


Do neutrons and protons make up the nucleus?

yes, neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. Outside of the nucleus are the electrons. The nucleus's charge is positive because of the protons.


Where is the subatomic particles located?

Protons and neutrons are in the center of an atom in the nucleus. Electrons are dispersed around the nucleus.


Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?

electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
