Why is it important that protons and electrons attract to each other?
The main reason that electrons and protons are dominant in matter is that these are stable particles and do not decay spontaneously. The neutron, which is unstable outside of a nucleus, is stable within the nucleus of an atom. The reason that the protons and neutrons are bound together is the strong nuclear force. The coulombic attraction between protons and electrons then binds the electrons to the nucleus to form an atom.
Where in the atom is the mass of the atom concentrated?
It is the nucleus. Mass of electrons is too small
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in element beryllium?
Beryllium should be expected to have a charge of 2+ as is expected of all the elements in Group 2 of the periodic table. But its behavior is somewhat different than other Group 2 elements because it has so few electrons. This element tends to form covalent bonds.All nuclei have a positive charge.So beryllium-9 has a positive charge.
How many protons and electrons is in ion?
An ion is defined as an element with a charge. Because elements vary with how many protons they have (along with neutrons to form isotopes) it is impossible to put a set number on how many protons and electrons all ions have. An element (or compound) becomes an ion when the substance gains (to become a positive ion) or loses (to become a negative ion) an electron(s).
Why do protons and electrons combine to form neutrons in a neutron star if protons are made of two up quarks and a down quark electrons aren't made of quarks and neutrons are made of two down quarks a?
Actually 'an' up quark.The weak nuclear force permits an interaction between an up quark and an electron that converts the up quark to a down quark and the electron ceases to exist, also an interaction between a down quark and a positron that converts the down quark to an up quark and the positron ceases to exist. There are also weak nuclear force interactions that change quark types by emitting electrons or positrons. Both the absorption and emission interactions described above are referred to as Beta Decay Processes. All Beta Decay Processes also involve emission of an electron neutrino or an electron antineutrino (the lightest known particle having a nonzero mass and a particle that has almost no interaction at all with other matter).
Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.
3 different subatomic particles from which atoms are made?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three subatomic particles that make up atoms. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Together, these particles combine to form the structure of an atom.
What combines to make an molecule?
Atoms combine to form molecules and atoms are made of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons & electrons).
3 main subatoms found in atoms?
The 3 main subatomic particles found in atoms are Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons. Protons and Neutrons are called "composite particles" because they themselves are made up of smaller particles called quarks.
Is boron protons electrons or neutrons?
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
What are the three essential parts of an atom?
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons form the nucleas, surrounded by a cloud of Electrons.
Where are proton neutron and electron fond?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are found in the atom. The protons and neutrons form the nucleus. Electrons orbit the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged.
Is a nucleus made up of protons and electrons or electrons and neutrons or protons and neutrons?
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons; the electrons form electron shells around the nucleus.
What are some elements with a single atom that cannot be combined?
When atoms combine to make molecules only the electrons adhere together to form bonds. The protons, neutrons, and nucleus do not combine.
Where in an atom are the protons and neutrons located?
The protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus. The electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.
What are the subatomic particles that form the basic structure of atoms called?
The three subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus. The electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Which's the statement about atoms?
Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. They consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in energy levels. Atoms combine to form molecules through chemical bonds.
