What are the 3 subatomic particles found in the atom and list their charge?
Neutron: A neutral particle (0 e or C) found in the nucleus at the center of the atom.Proton: A positive particle (+1 e or 1.602 × 10-19 Coulombs) found in the nucleus at the center of the atom.Electron: A negative particle (-1 e or -1.602 × 10-19 Coulombs) found in orbitals within "shells" around the nucleus of the atom.
What are the nucleons in an atom?
NucleonsNucleons are subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons, that exist in the nuclei (plural of nucleus) of atoms. Though a proton or neutron can exist outside the nucleus of an atom (though the neutron is unstable and will decay), either particle is considered a nucleon when we refer to them as the constituent parts of an atomic nucleus.Protons and neutrons reside in the NUCLEUS and are thus NUCLEONS. The probability of an electron being within a nucleus is quite small, so it is not considered a nucleon.
What is the definition of a proton?
A proton is a part of an atom. The other parts of an atom are the neutron, and electrons. It's an electrically charged particle. It is positive. It is located within the nucleus of the atom, which is about one ten thousandth of the diameter of the atom itself but contains virtually all of the atom's mass. The number of protons in the nucleus determine the element; for example, if the nucleus contains 8 protons it is an oxygen atom. The protons are subtracted from the total atom mass, and therefore, the other mass are the neutrons. A proton is one of the three basic "building blocks" of the atom (along with the neutron and electron). It is a subatomic particle with a unit positive charge. (The unit of charge is 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb.) It has a diameter of 1.6 to 1.7 x 10-15 meter. It's mass is about 1.6726 x 10-27 kilogram. It is a fermion with a + 1/2 spin, and is, therefore, a baryon. It is composed of two up quarks and a down quark, and it is held together by the strong interaction (strong force). It is a nucleon, a particle of the atomic nucleus (with the neutron), and, as such will undergo mass deficit (along with any other nucleons) to fuse into an atomic nucleus. The resultant mass lost in fusion is the residual strong force, and this is the nuclear binding energy, nuclear glue, that holds an atomic nucleus together. The electrostatic repulsion between protons creates an upper limit on the size of an atomic nucleus because of the limits of this binding energy. By itself, the proton is a hydrogen nucleus. It's discovery is generally credited to Ernest Rutherford (in 1918). It has an antiparticle called the antiproton. The definition of the word proton is "a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign."
After an alpha particle leaves the nucleus will it speed up?
The alpha particle emitted in alpha decay will leave the nucleus of the atom with considerable kinetic energy. But it will begin slowing down immediately unless it's in a vacuum. This will be due to scattering events with any atoms or molecules it encounters along its path of travel. It will not experience an increase in velocity, so no, it won't speed up.

Any subatomic particle found in the atomic nucleus Another name for either proton or neutron?
A nucleon.
What is a particle that lacks charge?
Neutrons are sub atomic particles found inside the nucleus without any charge.
Is the electron a nucleon or not?
The term nucleon signifies any particle that is present inside the nucleus of an atom. We know that the nucleus of any atom contains only two particles which are proton and neutron whereas electron are present outside the nucleus revolving around it. Hence, electron is not a nucleon.
What subatomic particle has a relative mass of 1?
The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
What is the particle in the nucleus of the atom with no electrical charge?
Neuton does not have any charge
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What subatomic particles are found outside the atomic nucleus?
The particles outside of an atom are called electrons :D
Where are gravitational electromagnetic and nuclear forces found?
Any object that has a mass also has a gravitational field. Any object that has a charge has an electrostatic field Any charged particle that is undergoing acceleration has a Magnetic field Nuclear forces are found in the nucleus of atoms holding them together.

Where can nucleus be found in a plant?
In any of its cells.
What is the smallest particle found in the electron?
Electron is an elemenatry and fundamental nuclear particle; electron has not any components.
Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
