What else can I help you with?
Does a neutron star contain electrons?
Neutron stars are made almost entirely of neutrons. These neutrons are formed when the star implodes, causing the orbiting electrons of the atoms to interact with the protons in the nucleus. So, it is safe to say that neutron stars contain no electron.
What is the protons of cadmium?
The atomic number of Cadmium is 48, which is to say, it has 48 protons.
An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is called a?
neutral : apex :0)
Does a proton have charge?
All we can say is that it is the nature of electrons to carry a negative charge, and for protons to carry a positive charge. The intrinsic cause of these charges is still not yet understood, and awaits the further development of sub-atomic physics models.
What is the size of neutron?
its difficult to talk about size, when talking about such particles. Maybe someone will correct me, but my understanding is that electrons and protons have no size: we say they are point particles. They have a probability wave which shows where they are likely to appear, but I don't think they actually have a volume as, in the same way, a swimming pool or a car would have. We can estimate the size of a nucleus, which consists of neutrons and protons, then divide that volume by the total number of nucleons, which would probably give a value of 10^-15m, but can you actually say that a free floating neutron has a volume? I don't know. Electrons certainly dont. We say they are point charges.
What can you say about the number of protons and electrons on a neutral object?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
Gold has an atomic number of 79. What does the 79 mean?
The number 79 means that there are 79 protons in the nucleus of an atom of gold. It is the number of protons/electrons in that atom (I say protons/electrons because there are an equal amount of both; i.e. 79 protons 79 electrons)
How many protons and electrons does argon have?
i will say 18 neutrons and electrons
What do electrons do to the nucleus?
Electrons orbits around the nucleus, which have neutrons and protons. When there is an imbalance of protons and electrons, it creates a static electricity. What I am trying to say is, nothing really special happens.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
What is the atoms charge if there are more protons than electrons in the atom?
positive!(: more protons = positive more electrons = negative say an atom has 2 more protons than electrons, it has a charge of 2+ if it had 3 more electrons than protons, it has a charge of 3- if electrons are taken away, what will the charge be? answer: positive, because there are less electrons same works vice versa. hope i helped! source: 8th grade science class(:
How many protons does C12 have?
I would say 6 because C-12 has 6 protons, and the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is a rare exception when the protons, neutrons, and electrons are all the same number-6.
If electrons and protons were people what would they say to one another?
hey. What's up
If an atom of an element has six protons and eight neutrons how many electrons is in this atom if its neutral?
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What are the main particles found in the nuclei of all elements?
i would say protons,nuetrons, and electrons
What three things combine to make atoms?
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. In many science classes, we say that the protons, neutrons and electrons are the building blocks of atoms. If you want to go further, both protons and neutrons are made of up quarks and down quarks. (Protons and neutrons are composite particles.) Note that electrons cannot, as far as we know, be split into anything smaller. In that light, you could say "up quarks, down quarks and electrons make up atoms".
