If a atom that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the necleus and 2 electrons in the first and 8 in the next What is the atom?
Protons determine the identity and will never change. If you change the protons you change the element. On the periodic table the single digit number beside of the element tells you the number of protons. By looking up 8 on your periodic table you are able to determine that it is Oxygen. However, for you question you mentioned 2 electrons in the first and 8 in the next. If you are referring to the orbits around the nucleus this means that you have two more electrons than you do protons which means you have an ion. Your atom is still Oxygen but it is written like this O-2. The negative two tells you that you have two more electrons than you do protons.
What information does an atom mass give you?
The mass of an atom gives you an idea of how heavy it is in relation to other atoms. It is the total mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. The atomic mass is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu).
What is the mass number of the isotope of manganese (Mn) containing 28 neutrons?
Go to the periodic table and look up the atomic number of iron (Fe). The atomic number of iron is equal to the number of protons in iron. Mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons so add up the two values.
Is there a picture of the protons and neutrons of beryllium?
Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of an atom and cannot be directly observed in a picture. They are depicted in diagrams as small spheres or symbols within the nucleus of the atom.
What does the Bohr model of argon look like?
In the Bohr model of argon, the nucleus is surrounded by two energy levels of electrons. The first energy level contains two electrons and the second energy level contains eight electrons. This configuration follows the octet rule for stability.
Are there any particles smaller than protons neutrons and electrons?
Electrons are fundamental particles and we can not actually measure the size of an electron (we know we will NEVER be able to). However the size of protons and neutrons can be measured and we know that these particles are made up of other, more fundamental particles which are probably smaller.
Is a proton the same as an electron?
No. Protons and electrons are both charged, but they have opposite charge. Protons and electrons both have mass, but electrons have 1/1800th the mass of a proton. Protons are comprised of three quarks, but electrons are not composite particles. Protons have a physical size, but electrons are point particles (as far as we have been able to determine). The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same.
How do you find how many protonsneutrons and electrons are in an atom?
Using the periodic table you are able to determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for any of the elements identified to this date. Knowing an element's name or symbol, look up the element in the table. For example lets look up Boron! Boron's chemical symbol is B, and from the periodic table its atomic number is 5. The atomic number of an element reveals the number of protons and also the number of electrons the element has as a single isolated atom. Although, the element may not exist freely as an isolated single atom in nature. So, Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons. The number of neutrons an element may have can vary, and this is what differentiates stable and unstable isotopes of many elements. Boron has a molar mass of 10.811, and is listed with two stable isotopes: 10B and 11B. Subtracting the atomic number from the isotope number gives the number of neutrons boron is found with. The 10B isotope has 5 neutrons, and the 11B isotope has 6 neutrons. Since the molar mass is 10.811, we can tell that the 11B isotope is more abundant than the 10B isotope. If the distribution was equal then the molar mass would be 10.5.

What causes static electricity in things that don't conduct electricity?
All matter, including non-conductors contain protons (which have a + charge) neutrons ( which have no or 0 charge) and electrons (which have a - charge) The protons and neutrons are 'wrapped up' in the middle of the atom, the nucleus, and so do are not able to move, but the electrons go around the outside of the atom, they orbit the nucleus like our planet orbits the sun, these can move. If some of the electrons are removed by rubbing a non-conductor then it gains an overall + charge as there is still the same number of protons (+) but now less electrons (-). The reverse is also true if electrons are transferred to a non-conductor then it will have more electrons (-) than protons (+) and therefor have an overall - charge. Science-teacher.
Do you have a picture diagram of a boron atom?
I'm not able to show images, but a boron atom has 5 protons, 5 electrons, and usually 6 neutrons in its nucleus. The electrons fill up the first two energy levels with 2 in the first and 3 in the second energy level.
Why was Evidence of the existence of neutrons not come until many years after the discoveries of the electron and the proton why?
Electrons and Protons have a charge, which can be detected in a magnetic field. However, neutrons, as the name suggests, are neutrally charged (no charge). So neutrons would not be detected in a magnetic field.
Why don't protons get pulled into neutrons in an atom?
I might be able to answer better if I knew why you think this should (or even COULD) happen. In the Standard Model, both protons and neutrons are composed of three quarks (up, up, down for protons and up, down, down for neutrons). These arrangements are much more stable than any hypothetical six quark structure that would be produced by combining them.
How did scientists discovering protons and neutrons help them to place elements in their correct order and group?
By discovering the elements proton number, it became easier for scientists because the elements had similar properties. And they could arrange it by increasing proton number, valence electrons or electronic configuration.
What is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom of 118 50 Sn?
Sn (tin) has an atomic number of 50, which indicates there are 50 protons in its nucleus. If the atomic mass is 118, then the number of neutrons is the difference between the two numbers, or 68 neutrons.
How are protons able to touch each other in the nucleus of an atom?
They don't touch each other, they are all blocked by neutrons in the nucleus, that is why protons don't just repel each other and the nucleus doesn't fall apart.
