No! The nucleus of an atom consists of at least one proton and, in all but one instance, at least one neutron. An atomic nucleus does not include electrons.

What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?

The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.


Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?

No, protons are found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in electron shells. Chlorine has 17 protons in its nucleus, but the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.


Do electrons and protons circle neutrons?

In an atom, electrons move around the nucleus, which contains both protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, while electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus. The orbits of electrons are complex and not necessarily circular.


Does the nucleus of an atom have protons neutrons electron?

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.


Is the nucleus of a positively charged atom positive negative or neutral?

The nucleus of an atom is always positive, even if it loses or gains electrons to form ions. Ionization affects the electrons in the electron cloud, but not the contents of the nucleus. The numbers of both the protons and neutrons in the nucleus will remain the same for whatever isotope is undergoing ionization. For example, the most abundant isotope of calcium is calcium-40, in which the nucleus contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons, and the electron cloud contains 20 electrons. When calcium atoms react with a nonmetal, they lose 2 electrons from the electron cloud and develop a 2+ charge, but the contents of the nucleus still contain 20 protons and 20 neutrons.

Where is the bulk mass in an atom?

The bulk mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons, which have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons, orbit around the nucleus in electron shells.

Where are the protons found in a Bohr?

In the Bohr model of the atom, protons are located in the nucleus at the center of the atom. The nucleus contains both protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in defined energy levels. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number and the identity of the element.


Why do you say the mass of any element is in the nucleus and you ignore the mass of the electrons?

The mass of any atom is in the nucleus because it contains both protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have a significantly greater mass than electrons do, so electrons are ignored when finding the mass of an atom.


What both protons and neutrons?

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. The electrons are also in the nucleus as well as chromosomes and genes.


How are protons and neutrons alike?

Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!


How many protons and electrons does a neutron have?

None. Protons and electrons are not constituents of a neutron. Both neutrons and protons are constituents of an atom's nucleus (core), while the electrons are situated in the electronic cloud around the nucleus.


What is a nucleus in chemistry?

In chemistry, the nucleus is the central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons. It has a positive charge due to the presence of protons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.


What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?

The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
