Is it true that protons in the nucleus attach themselves to another atom?
No. Not under normal conditions. It is true that protons within the nucleus attract each other due to the residual binding energy left over from the binding energy that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, but that force does not extend beyond the nucleus before the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force, would override the residual binding energy. In order to bind protons from different nuclei together, more formally, different nuclei together, you need nuclear fusion, and that requires high temperature and high pressure, first to ionize the atom and strip away the electron shells, and second to bring the nuclei close enough together that the residual binding energy can overcome the electromagnetic force.
Is it true that Protons repel other protons in the electromagnetic force?
yes
Is it true that isotopes have variable numbers of electrons?
nope, just neutrons
Is this true atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
i really don't know so can someone answer it that knows
A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?
True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.
What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
Which of the following subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of the atom?
The protons and the neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom.
What statement is true about atoms protons neutrons and electrons?
Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.
Is it true that the size of an atom depends on the number of electrons protons and neutrons present in the atom?
No. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom. The electrons are outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.
Atoms are composed of protons and electrons?
Atoms are made of different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons (positive charge) and Neutrons (neutral charge) make up the nucleus of the atom. The incredibly small electrons (negative charge) follow orbitals around the nucleus in what's known as an Electron Cloud. An example where this is not true, however, is a hydrogen atom. It has only one proton and one electron. Because it only has one proton, it does not naturally have any neutrons as no buffer is needed between protons.
Which particles in an atom contribute most to mass of the atom?
The particles are protons, neutrons, and the nucleus inside of the atom Nice helping u >_<
Is it true that the nucleus is an atomic particle that has no atomic change?
the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons together. the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge [electrons circle the nucleus and have a negative charge]
Is this problem true or false Most of the mass of an atom is due to its protons an d neutrons?
This is true.
True or False The central core of an atom is called a HUB?
I'm not really sure if it's called a HUB, but I do know that the central core of an atom is called the nucleus, and is made out of protons (with a positive charge) and neutrons (with no charge).
What is true about the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom?
The numbers of each are equal! Therefore the atom is neutral.
Atoms are composed of electron protons and ____.?
Atoms are made of different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons (positive charge) and Neutrons (neutral charge) make up the nucleus of the atom. The incredibly small electrons (negative charge) follow orbitals around the nucleus in what's known as an Electron Cloud. An example where this is not true, however, is a hydrogen atom. It has only one proton and one electron. Because it only has one proton, it does not naturally have any neutrons as no buffer is needed between protons.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
