NO, protons and neutrons are in the centre of an atom and the electrons are spinning round on the outside of an atom. protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, this why they cannot be together. However, neutrons have no charge, that is why they are combined with the protons.
Neuclus is in the center of an atom which contains protons and neutons. Electrons circle around the neuclus.
Yes protons are in the middle or the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons.
No. Protons are contained in the nucleus of an atom and electrons are outside of the nucleus in a region called an electron cloud.
no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
The protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus. The electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.
An atom is made up of 3 items: electrons which are negatively charged, protons which are positively charged, and neutrons which carry no charge. The protons and neutrons are closely grouped together in the nucleus of the atom. The electrons are in orbit around the nucleus in a similar manner as the planets orbit the sun. In this configuration it is much easier to lose or gain electrons than protons or neutrons.
Neutron are what keeps the nucleus together. Protons are what decides the kind of element which the atom is and the electrons decide the charge of the atom.
no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.
Atoms are held up together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding) or by transfer of electrons (ionic bond).
as for the atom it contains protons and electrons and neutrons electrons have neglegible mass so they cannot balance atom but there is neutron which has balanced atom together with proton
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
An atom is a nucleus of protons and neutrons with electrons orbiting around. An element is an atom with a specific amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A molecule is a bunch of atoms stuck together.
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
