How do you know that atom is mostly empty space?
The electrons are repelled by the protons, which causes then to be farther away. If the nucleus was the size of a marble, then the atom would be the size of a football stadium. Correction: Electrons are not repelled by the protons but are attracted to them. Opposite charges attract.
Why is it easier to split a Uranium 235 nucleus using neutrons than using alpha particles?
Neutrons don't have an electric charge, so they can easily penetrate the nucleus of Uranium-235 without being repelled by the positive charge of the protons. Alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons and have a positive charge, which makes it harder for them to penetrate the nucleus due to the repulsive forces between the positively charged alpha particle and the positively charged protons in the nucleus.
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 many protons are in a sodium nucleus?
There are 11 protons in a sodium nucleus.
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.
Which element has six protons in its atomic nucleus?
Carbon is the element which has 6 protons in the nucleus.
Why must the bullet that splits a uranium atom be neutral?
The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
Is tin a element that has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms or is lead a element that has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms?
Lead has more protons in the nucleus of its atoms compared to tin. Lead has 82 protons while tin has 50 protons in its nucleus.
How many protons in the nucleus of an atom is bohrium?
Bohrium has 107 protons.
Within an atom protons and neutrons are found in the?
Protons are found in nucleus, as neutrons are also.
