What provides the centripetal force in an atom?
Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and electron provides the necessary centripetal force in an atom.
The instability that occurs in larger nuclei is caused by the fact that?
the strong nuclear force doesn't fall off much in a small nucleus
What thing holds protons and electrons in the nucleus?
Electrostatic force of attraction. Ya you know the force that attracts a +ve charged and -ve charged particles towards each other.
Regions where electrons are located?
Electrons are bound inside an electrostatic potential well around the nucleus; ext. energy is needed for the electron to escape.
Difference between electrostatic force and electromagnetic force?
electrostatic force is the force between the two opposite charges where as the electromagnetic force is movement of electrons
The cloud around the atom's nucleus contains its?
The cloud around an atom's nucleus is called an electron cloud. An electromagnetic force binds electrons inside an electrostatic potential well, which surrounds the nucleus.
How are electrons held within a atom?
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electrons.
What universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
electrostatic forces
What is the force of attraction among the particles in a nucleus that overcomes electrostatic repulsion and holds the nucleus together?
lattice energy
What force holds the electrons around the nucleas?
Electrostatic force betweeen positive nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
When the electrostatic force overcomes the force in at least part of the nucleus it is called radioactive decay?
strong
Which two forces are responsible for holding the atom together?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus, there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the protons. Those protons have positive charges, and like charges repel. Also acting in the nucleus is a force of attraction called the nuclear force. It provides the nuclear binding energy to keep the nucleus together. This nuclear force is a short range force, and is so strong that it will overcome the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons.
What force must be overcome to remove an electron?
The electrostatic force of attraction between the positive nucleus and the negative electron must.
What is an effect of electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
What provides the centripetal force in an atom?
Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and electron provides the necessary centripetal force in an atom.
What is the effect of the electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
The nucleus holds what?
The nuclear membrane nuclear membrane strong nuclear force, stronger than electrostatic repulsion
