What is meson in atom?

Mesons are subatomic particles that are made up of a quark and an antiquark bound together. They are responsible for the strong nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus. Mesons have integer spin and decay rapidly into other particles.


Most stable types of nuclei have an number of protons and an number of neutrons?

Most stable nuclei have a roughly equal number of protons and neutrons, which helps to balance the forces that hold the nucleus together. This balance of protons and neutrons helps minimize the nucleus's potential energy, making it more stable.


How do you make a nucleus of the atomic structure of neon?

Neon, with an atomic number of 10, and an atomic mass of roughly 20, will require 10 protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons will be inside the nucleus, or the center of the atom. The electrons will be outside the nucleus in the electron cloud, where a first ring or level will hold 2 and the second will hold 8.


What is the primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

The primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is to contribute to the binding energy or nuclear glue that holds the nucleus itself together. Recall that an atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, and they don't like each other. In order to overcome the repulsive forces of the protons, neutrons are included in the structure to contribute to the so-called mass deficit. That phenomenon involves the nucleons (the protons and neutrons in a nucleus) losing a bit of mass that is converted into binging energy to hold the neucleus together.


What is the sub-discipline of the nature of protons and neutrons?

The sub-discipline that studies the nature of protons and neutrons is called nuclear physics. Nuclear physics focuses on the structure, properties, and interactions of atomic nuclei, which are composed of protons and neutrons. This field plays a vital role in understanding the structure of matter and the forces that hold atomic nuclei together.

What other particle is found in the nucleus?

In addition to protons and neutrons, the nucleus of an atom also contains particles called electrons, which have a negative charge. Electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons and are located in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.


Why are neutrons in the nucleus of an atom if they have no charge?

well they aren't going to orbit if they have no charge. They hold the protons together. Protons, with the same charge, wouldn't stay together without neutrons.


What is the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?

An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).


Which particles are within the atom?

Protons and neutrons are in nucleus. Electrons revolve around them


Why there is no repulsion between the protons within nucleus?

There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

How do protons and neutrons hold an atom together?

The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.


What kind of charge does the protons and neutrons have?

Protons are positively charged (+) and neutrons don't hold any charge.


What do the energy levels in an atom hold?

They hold protons or neutrons or something of that nature... - ;)


Does a strong nuclear force hold the nucleus together?

Yes, the strong force carried by meson exchanges between protons and/or neutrons.
