Protons are located within the nucleus of the atom. The mass of an atom is made up of majorly; neutrons and protons (both located within the nucleus). The mass of an electron is almost negligible(non-existent).

Why does a proton inside a nucleus have less mass that the same proton outside the same nucleus?

because it binds with a nuetron that is equal to its mass


Is it true or false Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom?

False. A proton is found inside the nucleus of an atom.


What particles (eletron or proton) are on the outside of all atoms?

Protons are particles in the atomic nucleus; electrons move around the nucleus.


Are proton particles located in or outside the nucleus?

Protons are part of the nucleus.


Why don't proton take part in chemical reaction?

Protons are located inside the nucleus, so it makes it difficult for them to participate in any type of interactions with other atoms. Electrons, on the other hand, are outside the nucleus, and so are in a much better position to interact with other atoms.


What is the Location of proton and neutrons?

Electrons -- in energy levels outside the nucleus. Protons in the nucleus. Neutrons in the nucleus.


What kind of charge does an atom with 1 proton in its nucleus and 1 electron outside its nucleus have?

neutral


Where is most of the mass of an atom within the nucleus or outside of the nucleus?

The whole is less than the sum of the parts. A proton or neutron (nucleon) will have less mass in a nucleus that outside it. That's because some of the mass of a nucleon is converted into binding energy to hold an atomic nucleus together. That's the so-called mass deficit. Oh, and before we go, a proton or neutron is called a nucleon only inside the nucleus of an atom. We don't apply that term to either one when they're outside the nucleus.


Where is the nucleus found in the proton?

Inside an atom there is a nucleus in the center. The nucleus contains positively charged protons which is why the nucleus is positive.


How many electrons in hydrogen are in the nucleus?

No electrons are in the nucleus. the nucleus consists of a proton for normal hydrogen, a proton and neutron for deuterium and a proton and two neutrons for tritium. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.


Where are the three particles located?

The three subatomic particles are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Protons and neutrons are located inside the atomic nucleus. Electrons are located outside the nucleus in what's called the electron cloud.


What is the most positively charged particle inside an atoms nucleus?
