6 subatomic particles.

2 protons and 2 neutrons (that accounts for the mass of 4 amu) as well as 2 electrons.

After a single subatomic particle is removed from an atom of helium the helium atom becomes an atom of hydrogen What subatomic particle was removed?

A single proton was most likely removed from the helium atom to result in an atom of hydrogen. Helium typically has two protons, so removing one proton would leave one, transforming it into hydrogen, which has one proton.


What would a carbon atom look and sound like if you were a subatomic particle?

It would look very small because subatomic particles are small.


A tiny particle with a positive charge?

The particle would be a positively charged subatomic particle, such as a proton. This particle would have a small mass and would be found within the nucleus of an atom. Its positive charge would attract negatively charged particles like electrons.


Do alpha prarticle share the same atomic number?

An alpha particle is, essentially, a helium nucleus.This means that is has the same atomic number (no. of protons) as Helium does - it just doesn't have the electrons as well.So the atomic number of an alpha particle would be 2.It's also not neutral, and would have a 2+ charge.The mass number of an alpha particle would be 4 as it has 2 neutrons and 2 protons.All alpha particles are helium nuclei, so they all share the same properties.


The nuclear fusion of a helium-3 nucleus and nuclide X releases an alpha particle and a positron Identify nuclide X?

The nuclide X would be tritium (hydrogen-3). In the described fusion process, a helium-3 nucleus and tritium combine to form a stable helium-4 nucleus along with the release of an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) and a positron.

Which subatomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom?

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.

Where would you find the subatomic particle?

sub-atomic would indicate that it would be found inside an atom.


What is a subatomic particle with two neutrons that is emitted during some types of radioactive decay called?

This would be the alpha particle. An alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons, and it's actually a helium-4 nucleus. That's why we write this particle like this: 42He or He+2 Use the links below for more information.


Which subatomic particle has the weakest charge?

I would say a neutrino, because its charge is zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neutrino is not considered as a subatomic particle. Proton (positively charged) and electron (negatively charged) have very small electrical charge.


How would you measure a subatomic particle?

These measurements are the result of experiments or are derived from other physical data.


Which noble gas would have the smallest ionic radius?

Helium would have - it is an alpha particle.


What subatomic particle carries a negative electric charge?

The electron is the most important subatomic particle with a negative charge. There are others, however.Electron. Muon. Quarks: down, strange, and bottom.electron


The Subatomic particle of an atom with negative change?

that would be an electron, protrons are positive and nutrons you guessed it neutral


Subatomic particle that defines the element?

The subatomic particle that defines the element is the proton. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element's atomic number, which differentiates one element from another on the periodic table.
