Protons and neutrons are found in this part of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. These subatomic particles "bond" together during fusion to create the nucleus.
How many neutrons would an iron-56 nucleus absorb during a supernova explosion to produce an arsenic-75 nucleus?
To produce an arsenic-75 nucleus from an iron-56 nucleus, the iron must absorb neutrons and undergo a series of transformations. Iron-56 has 26 protons and 30 neutrons, while arsenic-75 has 33 protons and 42 neutrons. This means that to reach arsenic-75, the iron-56 nucleus needs to absorb enough neutrons to increase its neutron count to 42 while also changing the number of protons through beta decay. Therefore, iron-56 would need to absorb approximately 7 neutrons during the process.
What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that can't change in a chemical reaction?
the number of protons and neutrons
Does the total number of nucleons in the nucleus of the atom ever increase during the decay chain?
No, the total number of nucleons in the nucleus remains constant during a decay chain. The total number of protons and neutrons may change as individual particles are emitted during decay, but the overall number of nucleons (protons and neutrons combined) remains the same within a closed system.
Nuclear Reactions involve what part of the atom?
Nuclear reactions involve the nucleus of the atom, which contains protons and neutrons. During these reactions, changes in the nucleus, such as fusion or fission, release large amounts of energy.

An alpha particle is identical to a?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has two protons and two neutrons, and we write it like this: 24He++ or more commonly 24He2+ Some links can be found below.

What type of nucleus forms during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei?
The helium nucleus is formed during the proton-proton reaction by the fusion of four protons. Two of the protons are converted to neutrons by the weak interaction.
Which is an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a type of radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons bound together. It is the nucleus of a helium atom and is emitted during radioactive decay processes. Alpha particles have a relatively low penetration power and are commonly stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin.

During the solar nuclear reaction four nuclei bond together.?
Yes, basically four protons become a nucleus with two protons and two neutrons. See the link below

What is changed during nuclear change?
The make up of the nucleus concerned, ie the number of protons and/or neutrons. In the case of fission of for example U-235, two completely different fragments of the U nucleus are formed, with the same total number of protons (92) but fewer neutrons because some are emitted in the fission.
What is the energy in the nucleus of an atom?
the nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons so the energy of the atoms necleus is allways a positive charge since their are only electrons present on the outside of the atom. Neutrons have no charge and do not contribute to the energy of the nucleus
In order for a heavy nucleus like lead to remain a unit it must have 1.5 times more neutrons than protons to overcome what electrostatic forces?
Lead can only stay together if it has enough nuclear binding energy to overcome the electrostatic repulsive forces of all the protons in the nucleus of its atom. Remember that protons are positive charges, and like charges repel. Only nuclear glue, that binding energy, holds the nucleus together. This binding energy is generated during the process wherein the atomic nucleus was created. The neutrons and protons that are going to be in a nucleus all suffer a slight reduction in their mass. This mass deficit is converted into the binding energy that holds a nucleus together. That's why it takes all those neutrons in the nucleus of an atom to keep the whole thing together.
