No, protons and neutrons make up the nuclear membrane. Electrons make up the cloud around it.

What is the part of the atom that includes protons neutrons and electrons?

Neutrons are part of the nucleus itself, and electrons circle the nucleus


35 protons how many electrons?

An atom with 35 protons is iodine, which is a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it also has 35 electrons. Therefore, an atom with 35 protons has 35 electrons.


Do protons circle the nucles of an atom?

No, Electrons do. Protons do not orbit around the nucleus of atom. It is electron which moves around the nucleus.


How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?

A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.


What are electrons and how do you find how many electrons are in an atom?

Electrons, protons and neutrons are the building blocks of atoms. Electrons have a negative electrical charge and can be thought of as small particles that orbit the nucleus, made of the neutrons and protons. In fact, the behavior of electrons is very complex but this simple model is effective. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number of the atom and this defines what element the atom is. The atom normally has the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, the atomic number of an element represents the number of electrons in the atom. Note that the number of electrons can be changed when the atom is part of a compound although the number protons does not change.

How can an atom have a negative part?

An atom has a negative part (called electrons) because it has a positive part also (called protons), so the electrons make it electrically neutral.


35 protons how many electrons?

An atom with 35 protons is iodine, which is a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it also has 35 electrons. Therefore, an atom with 35 protons has 35 electrons.


How many protons and electrons are contained in an atom of element ruthenium?

An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

How many electrons versus protons in an atom?

In an ATOM they are EQUAL in number. e.g. Hydrogen ; 1 proton and 1 electron Carbon ; 6 protons and 6 electrons. When they become unequal in number, they are no longer atoms , but IONS . The number of protons gives an element its characteristics. metal/non-metal etc., The number of electrons indicates the combing characteristics, with other atoms/ions.
