All stable molecules except hydrogen contain neutrons (and even hydrogen molecules contain some neutrons if you choose a large enough sample, just not many).

The neutrons are found inside the atoms that make up the molecule; only hydrogen-1 (the form of hydrogen that has a nucleus consisting of a single proton) has no neutrons. Any other atom with no neutrons is radioactive and highly unstable (in the sense of "undergoes radioactive decay in fractions of a nanosecond"). On Earth, about one in one million hydrogen atoms is hydrogen-2, which has both a proton and a neutron, and is not radioactive, so around one in 500,000 hydrogen molecules contains a neutron.

What are three types of particles in a molecules?

Atoms contain neutrons, protons and electrons. Molecules are made of atoms.


How many neutrons are there in 3 BeF2 molecules?

There are 10 neutrons for each F atom, and 5 for each Be atom, so each BeF2 molecule will have 10+10+5=15 neutrons. You need 3 molecules, so 3*15=45


What 3 molecules make up an atom?

An atom is primarily composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. These molecules are responsible for the structure, stability, and properties of an atom.


What do atoms and molecules do?

Are molecules the simplest form of a neutron?

No, neutrons are one the particles that make up an atom. The atom consists of protons and neutrons in the core with electrons revolving around the periphery. Molecules are a group of atoms boned together, usually non-metal to non-metal to be considered molecules.


Does an ion have neutrons?

No, ions do not have neutrons. Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.


Do atomic nucleus contain molecules?

No, atomic nuclei do not contain molecules. Nuclei consist of protons and neutrons bound together by strong nuclear forces, while molecules are formed by the bonding of atoms through shared electrons in their outer shells.


Are protons neutrons and electrons atoms?

No they are not in the same way that arms and legs are not people.Protons, neutrons and electrons can come together in some specific numbers form atoms (or molecules). You can also have electrons by themselves. Normally you will not find isolated neutrons and protons. Alpha particles are 2 protons+2 neutrons which are found in radioactive decay.


What is the smaller units that compose molecules?

Atoms are the smaller units that compose molecules. They consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons and are the basic building blocks of matter.
