Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles. They're made of particles called quarks (which we're reasonably sure areelementary particles). These quarks are held together in hadrons such as protons and neutrons by something called the color force, also known as the strong nuclear force.
The residual color force, which you can sort of think of as "left over" from holding the individual protons and neutrons together, holds the collection of protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. These subatomic particles "bond" together during fusion to create the nucleus.
no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.
An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).
The protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus. The electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Together, they make up the majority of an atom's mass.
The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, which are held together by the strong nuclear force. The protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge. Together they make up the majority of an atom's mass.
Protons and neutrons are arranged in the nucleus of an atom in a tightly packed manner, with protons positively charged and neutrons neutral. They are held together by the strong nuclear force.
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
protons and neutrons are located in the atom's nucleus.
In the center of an atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral; together they make up most of the atom's mass. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in distinct energy levels.
All the protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus (center) Protons are positvely charged (red) neutrons are green, electrons are negatively charged and yellow
