Sort of... The general tendency is for a larger atom to be less stable. Above a certain point (after lead) no stable atoms are known to exist.

In an atom what particle does the proton repel?

In the nucleus of an atom, the protons repel each other due to their like charges. However, the strong force keeps protons from flying apart, keeping the protons inside the nucleus.


Why don't electrons fly off into space?

Electrons are held in place by the electromagnetic force exerted between them and the positively charged protons in an atom's nucleus. This force keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus, preventing them from flying off into space.


Are electrons located in the nucleus?

electrons are way way far away from the center (nucleus) of the atom. lets say the nucleus was the size of a basketball, the electrons would be marbles that are flying around miles away from the nucleus. this is one of the greatest mysteries of the atom, it's really taxing on the imagination when you realize how much of the atom is made up of empty space, and then to think about how everything is made up of atoms, that means everything is nearly 99.9% empty space.ContinuationThe nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and sometimes neutrons. The electron in orbit around the nucleus is ~1800 times smaller than a proton.We perceive everything from the macro side of the molecular boundary. Atoms naturally roll and tumble as they wander through space, and as such, they appear as vibrating spheroids from our perspective.


Without the strong force the nuclei of atoms would?

Without the strong force, the nuclei of atoms would not be able to hold together. The strong force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons in the nucleus, preventing them from flying apart due to the electromagnetic repulsion of positively charged protons.


What is helium2?

Helium-2 would refer to an isotope of helium with a nucleus consisting of just two protons and having two orbital electrons. However, no such atom exists in nature as the two positively charged protons repel each other more strongly than the nuclear strong force attracts them to each other. So, even if such a nucleus could be formed somehow, it would split apart very quickly. On the other hand, if you add a neutron to the two protons in the nucleus, then the nuclear strong force is sufficient to keep the protons from flying apart. This, together with two orbiting electrons, is the stable helium-3 atom. The most common isotope of helium is helium-4, with two protons and two neutrons in the nucleus, and two orbital electrons.


Is there a chance of flying without plane or helicopter?

think rockets


Could humans have a chance at flying?

yes if humans disevolve


Beyond 20 protons why does the nucleus need more neutrons than protons to be stable?

Protons repel each other with the electromagnetic force. Neutrons' electromagnetic force is zero - so what keeps any atom with more than 1 proton from flying apart? There is another force at work here we call the strong force which holds everything together. More neutrons are eventually needed to keep proton-hating protons in a precise balance of forces and spaces.


What is the chance of a pig flying to the moon?

I wouldn't put any bets on it


Why is flying to and through space a greater feat than flying through the air?

because to get to space you have to overcome the pull of earths gravity


What if lift is not equal but is greater than gravity while flying straight?

If the lift is greater than gravity then the airplane gains altitude.
