Selenium-76 has an atomic number of 34, which means it has 34 protons in its nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. The mass number of selenium-76 is 76, so the number of neutrons would be 76 - 34 = 42 neutrons.
All chlorine atoms contain 17 protons in each nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, the atom described in the question has a mass number of 35.
If the binding energy of a nucleus was zero, the nucleus would not be stable and would disintegrate. The nucleus relies on the binding energy to hold its protons and neutrons together. Without this binding energy, the nucleus would break apart into individual protons and neutrons.
Atomic mass= Atomic no. + no. of neutrons So when the atomic no. is subtracted from the atomic mass, the result would be equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
In this nuclear reaction, the total number of neutrons emitted would depend on the specific reaction and energy of the collision. However, typically when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded by a carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus, several neutrons are emitted in the process. The exact number of neutrons emitted can vary.
The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.
A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.
If a nucleus contained no neutrons, there would only be protons all with a positive charge which would be very unstable. Neutrons help space out the positive charges and bind the nucleus together.

The atomic particles that make up an alpha are two protons and two neutrons. The subatomic particles are contained within the neutrons & protons and there are too many to list here, plus I don't know all of them.
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...
That would be the nucleus.
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
