If an atom has two protons would it be stable?
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
An alpha particle is composed of which subatomic particles?
A Helium Nucleus so 2 protons and 2 neutrons Quarks are contained within the neutrons & protons and there are many types
How many protons added to the nuclei of oxygen atoms so it will glow red?
An oxygen atom can only have 8 protons. If you were to add any it would no longer be oxygen. But if you were to add 2 protons to it, it would become the element neon. When neon becomes ionized it glows a an orangy-red.
What is a proton in chemistry?
The electron is located in a cloud-like orbital around the atom's nucleus. The orbitals are of different types indicated by the letters s, p, d, etc. An s orbital has spherical symmetry, but the other types are more complicated.
What subatomic particles comprise the nucleus?
The two Subatomic particles which are in the Nucleus of an Atom is the Up and Down quark. When we think about the Nucleus of an Atom it is made up with Neutrons and Protons. Both Neutrons and Protons are made up with Quarks (a type of Subatomic Particle) Neutrons have to Down quarks and one Up quark. Whilst Protons have two Up quarks and one Down quark. So we can see that the Nucleus of an Atom is not only made up but dependent on Up and Down quarks.This should answer the Question.
If two protons and two neutrons are removed from the nucleus of an oxygen 16 atom a nucleus of which element remains?
Oxygen has the atomic number 8, so it has 8 protons. Almost all oxygen has 8 neutrons, for an atomic mass number of 16. If you remove 2 of each, you now have an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons). If you look up element 6 on a period table, you will find the element carbon has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 12 in its most abundant form.
If an atom has two protons would it be stable?
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
Which is an alpha particle?
A helium nucleus (2 protons & 2 neutrons).
What is the difference between an oxygen 16 atom and an oxygen 18 atom?
In the nucleus of an oxygen-18 atom there are 10 neutrons while in the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom there are only 8 neutrons. The number of electrons and protons always stay the same.
What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.
How may electrons neutrons protons are foundin the helium atom?
2 protons 2 electrons 2 neutrons 2 protons 2 electrons 2 neutrons don't know
How many protons and how many neutrons in the nucleus of a helium 4 atom?
2 protons and 2 neutron
What does an oxygen atom look like?
All atoms look like clouds in the microscope. Firstly, because there is no color in the microscopic world of atoms, the atom looks white. Secondly, atoms are consisted of protons and neutrons (in the core) and negatrons or electrons. If your question is "What does the molecular structure of oxygen looks like" then : It looks like that : O=O It has a double joint.
What alpha radiation is made up of?
A particle of alpha radiation is made up of two protons and two neutrons resembling a Helium-4 nucleus.
How many protons are in the ion O2?
The neutrons and protons in the nucleus do not change when electrons are removed from an atom. Even when two electrons are removed. Oxygen has several isotopes, with 8 protons and either 8, 9, or 10 neutrons... all representing stable isotopes. 8 neutrons is most common on Earth.
Which 2 particles make up the nucleus of the atom?
The nucleus can contain protons and neutrons.
What is loss or gain of protons called?
Alpha decay release a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 nutrons).
