When it comes to characteristics of atoms, all of them have one nucleus and electrons that circulate in orbits around the nucleus. The nucleus has protons and neutrons.

∙ 11y agoThe protons and neutrons of an atom are located in its nucleus, hence it carries a positive charge.

Are Atomic numbers and numbers of protons the same?
Neutral atoms do. Neutral atoms need the same number of positively charged protons in the nucleus to balance that same number of negatively charged electrons in their orbitals around that atom's nucleus.
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.
How can subatomic particles help identify an element?
you find the real atomic twist in the vein
Why the alpha particles could not smash the nucleus apart?
The alpha particle is positively charged (as is the nucleus) and is heavy compared with the neutron that is neutral and lighter than the alpha particle.Another viewpoint:It depends what experiment the question is about. For example, over a hundred years ago, Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and some "bounced off" what we now call the nucleus of the atoms. However, about ten years later he did experiments in which alpha particles did indeed "split" atomic nuclei. So, sometimes alpha particles can certainly smash a nucleus apart.
Do protons circle the nucleus of an atom?
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)
What are some of the characteristics of solids?
tightly packed atoms
What are some of the characteristics of solid?
tightly packed atoms
How big is the nucleas of an atom?
Of course, as atoms are tiny the nucleus is even smaller, but it depends on the atom. Some atoms have large protons and neutons in the nucleus, others smaller ones.
Does germanium have a nucleus?
All atoms have a nucleus.
Name of the atoms core?
The nucleus
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
At the center of every atoms is a mass-filled region called the?
centeral part of an atom consists of protons and neutrons I believe it is called the nucleus
Is atoms parts of a nucleus?
No, the nucleus is part of the atom.
Why is Nucleus the central atom?
a nucleus cant be a central atom. the nucleus is part of the atom. you are probably talking about why certain atoms are central atoms in a molecule and why some arent. the answer to that question is that the more electronegative atom will always appear as a central atom.
What is within a nucleus that gives the cell its characteristics?
DNA within the nucleus is responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics
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?
No
What force keeps the nucleus together?
The inter nuclear forces bind the atoms and nucleus together . This force is the cause for the nucleus binded towards the atoms.
