What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
Can the neutron in an atom be somewhere else other than the nucleus?
Neutrons as well as protons are what make up the nucleus of an atom.
What is the dense center of the atom called?
the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.
The part of an atom that would be found outside the nucleus is the _______.?
The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
The nucleus and all electrons in an atom?
That would be called the atom itself since it consists of the nucleus and one or more electrons
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
What does the nucleus of one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
The nucleus of one atom wants to attract or pull the electrons of a nearby atom towards itself. This attraction is due to the opposite charges of the protons in the nucleus and the electrons.
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
Where is the location of electrons?
The electron can either be by itself outside of an atom, or can be in an atom in a series of energy 'shells' outside of the nucleus.
What is the part of the atom that includes protons neutrons and electrons?
Neutrons are part of the nucleus itself, and electrons circle the nucleus
What is Rutherfords model of the atom?
the nuclear model was its name. the theory behind this model is that 99.99% of the atom is empty space.the nucleus is what that is tiny and the most dense positive core.The nucleus contains protons. the nucleus is what weight the most in the atom
How do you know that atom is mostly empty space?
The electrons are repelled by the protons, which causes then to be farther away. If the nucleus was the size of a marble, then the atom would be the size of a football stadium. Correction: Electrons are not repelled by the protons but are attracted to them. Opposite charges attract.
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What would you find orbiting the nucleus of an atom?
If you're referring to the nucleus of an atom, the answer is electrons.
What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
In an atom where would you find protons?
In the nucleus.
