What else can I help you with?
What do the number of protons and the strength of the attractions of electrons to the nucleus influence?
The properties of the atom
Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
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 subatomic particle changes in an isotope?
I'm assuming that by "change" you mean alter the quantity thereof. If you want to actually change a proton into a nuetron and eject a positron, that requires a nuclear reaction. The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and serve to define the atom, while the electrons orbit the nucleus and ultimately determine the atom's charge. Electrons can be removed or added with a certain amount of energy. This energy is relatively small compared to the massive amounts required to alter the subatomic particles within the nucleus.
What element has 4 protons a 4 neutrons?
berylium has 4 protons. It has 4 electrons too.
Why do electrons travel through atoms but protons do not?
Bcoz protons r inside nucleus and protons r outside nucleus and properties of element depends upon them.
Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
What is the smallest part of a element that maintains the properties of a element?
The smallest part of an element that maintains its properties is an atom. Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, known as the atomic number.
Number of electrons and protons in a nucleus?
The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
What has the greatest effects on the properties of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the element's identity, has the greatest effect on an element's properties. The number of electrons determines its chemical behavior, while the arrangement of electrons in energy levels plays a role in its physical properties.
Why are there 3 subatomic particles?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles in an atom. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus while electrons orbit around the nucleus. They have different properties and roles in determining the characteristics of an element.
What is the smallest part of an atom that can keep all the properties of an element?
All atoms have the same parts (protons,neutrons and electrons ). they just differ in number. So i don't think there's a smallest part of an atom that can keep all properties of an element. An element is defined by its Z number, which is the number of protons it has.
What does atomic number represent?
It is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom and it determinnes many properties of the atom. The atomic number is also the number of electrons and is a constant for every element
What is the smallest unit showing properties of the element Protons and Neutrons in nucleus?
The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.?
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element is an atom. Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons that determine the element's chemical properties.
What makes up an element and how does it contribute to the properties and characteristics of that element?
An element is made up of atoms with a specific number of protons in their nucleus. This number determines the element's identity. The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus influences the element's properties, such as its reactivity, melting point, and conductivity. The number of protons also affects the element's atomic mass and chemical behavior.
What element has 6 valence electrons and 52 protons in the nucleus?
The element with 6 valence electrons and 52 protons in the nucleus is tellurium, which has the atomic number 52.
