What two parts of an atom is located in the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and electrons are in the cloud that surrounds it.
Which component of an atom would you not expect to find in the nucleus?
Electron. Electrons are all outside the nucleus which conatins protons and neutrons.
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
Is all atomic nuclei positive?
Yes, though the overall charge of the entire atom is neutral due to the electrons orbiting it. If the atom becomes an ion by the removal or addition of electrons, its overall charge changes. But yes, the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.
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 would happen if a sodium nucleus had only 5 neutrons?
12
Could a nucleus that has more than one proton but no neutron exits?
No, it cannot exist because without any neutrons, the protons will repel each other since the nucleus would have multiple positive charges.
If the chlorine nucleus had twenty neutrons would the charge in the nucleus be greater less or the same?
The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.
How would you describe the nucleus of sodium?
A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.
What is the purpose of neutrons?
If a nucleus contained no neutrons, there would only be protons all with a positive charge which would be very unstable. Neutrons help space out the positive charges and bind the nucleus together.
Where are protons and neutrins located?
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.
What is inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...
What is found in a nucleus that has a no charge?
The nucleus of an atom containts protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge at all. So your answer would be Neutrons.
What is the center of the atom containing protons and neutrons?
That would be the nucleus.
What would happened to a stable nucleus in which the number of neutrons suddenly decreased?
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
What two parts of an atom is located in the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and electrons are in the cloud that surrounds it.
Is an electron just a name for both neutrons and protons?
No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
