Identify where each subatomic particle is located?

There are three basic parts to an atom. These are: the electron, the proton, and the neutron.The proton is a positively charged particle, with a relative mass of one, that is located in the nucleus of the atom, along with the neutron, which has a relative mass of one, but a neutral charge. The electron has a negligible mass, and a charge of negative one, and is located around the outside of the nucleus, whizzing around in electron shells.Proton: Relative mass 1, relative charge +1, located in nucleus in centre of atomNeutron: Relative mass 1, relative charge 0, located in nucleus in centre of atomElectron: Relative mass 1/1836, relative charge -1, located in 'shells' around nucleusYou are correct but they are not all different but if you combine them you can make a ballance with all of them to make them the same charge


What is the size of the Nucleus?

Assuming you're talking about the nucleus of an atom, the nucleus is very small relative to the atom's volume as a whole. However, it makes up nearly all of an atom's mass, because it contains all the protons and neutrons. So, relative to the total atom, the nucleus is very small and very dense.


Explain how the relative sizes of the nucleus of an atom can be compared to that of a stadium and a marble?

Because the size of an atom is about 100-500 nm, while the size of the nucleus is about 0.001 nm. In other words, the nucleus is from to 10 000 to 50 000 times smaller than the atom in which it resides. By analogy, the size of a marble of 1 cm can be compared to the size of a stadium of 100-500 m

What is the definition for the word relative size?

Relative means" in relation to" or "compared to". Relative size describes how an object appears next to another object. Mt. Rushmore's relative size is huge compared to a mouse. But Rushmore's relative size is very small compared (relative) to the universe.

Which part of an atom is the largest?

The nucleus contains the majority of the mass in an atom. The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons, which each have a relative mass of 1 amu. The electrons surround the nucleus and have a relative mass of 0 amu.
