Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the Atomic Mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)

Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
What is an atom that contains the protons and neutrons?
It is the nucleus. It is the middle of the atom
What parts of an atom are found inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons
What describes protons?
Protons are positively charged particles found inside the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in each atom is its atomic number. The name proton was given to the hydrogen nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in 1920.
What is an atom which has unequal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
Radioactive
Where was the proton found?
Protons are in the nucleus of an atom along with the neutrons. The electrons circle the nucleus in "shells".
Do protons circle the nucles of an atom?
No, Electrons do. Protons do not orbit around the nucleus of atom. It is electron which moves around the nucleus.
Do electrons and protons circle neutrons?
No, neutrons do not circle an atomic nucleus. They are bonded to protons in the nucleus to form it. It is the electrons that circle the nucleus and make up the electron cloud.
Protons and neutrons are?
Protons and Neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral. Electron circle the nucleus and a negatively charged.
What is the part of the atom that includes protons neutrons and electrons?
Neutrons are part of the nucleus itself, and electrons circle the nucleus
Where in a atom are protons found?
Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms along with the neutrons of the atom. The nucleus is always in the centre of the atom.
Where are protons found in the atom?
Protons are found in nucleus inside an atom.
What is the location of a electron?
The location of an electron is circling the outside of an atom.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the Atomic number.
Are protons and electrons grouped together in an atom?
NO, protons and neutrons are in the centre of an atom and the electrons are spinning round on the outside of an atom. protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, this why they cannot be together. However, neutrons have no charge, that is why they are combined with the protons.
Where is the protons located on an atom?
The proton is located in the atom's nucleus, with the neutrons (if there are any).
How many protons nucleus have?
It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.
