No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
What else can I help you with?
Does the electron cloud contain proton's or neutrons or electrons?
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either. Just electrons, as the name suggests.
Why does the number of electrons have little effect on overall mass of atom?
The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus are much heavier than an electron. Protons and neutrons are almost the same weight as each other and are just over 1800 times as heavy as an electron. there are the same number of electrons as protons in a neutral atom and typically a number of neutrons as well, so the percentage by weight of electrons is very small.
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 forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
What is the mass number of an element that consists of 6 protons 6 electrons and 8 neutrons?
Just add the protons and the neutrons. The answer is 14.
Why is the atomic mass generally used to refer to just the number of protons and neutrons?
The weight of an electron is negligible compared to that of protons and neutrons.
Does the nucleus have both protons and neutrons?
Yes, the nucleus is made up of both protons and neutrons. Well,actually a Hydrogen atom has just a proton.
What thing in the world has no electron in the atom?
All atoms have electrons. if there were no electrons it would just be a bunch of protons and neutrons
The three particles that make up an atom are?
The electron, the proton and the neutron are the "building blocks" of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge (p+), and neutrons which have about the same mass, are electrically neutral, or have no electrical charged (n0). Electrons, which are much less massive than protons - only about 1/1836th as heavy - have a negative electrical charge (e-). All atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, though most hydrogen (1H1) has just the proton in its nucleus and a lone electron in orbit.
Does the electron cloud contain proton's or neutrons or electrons?
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either.

Most atoms are composed of electrons protons and neutrons. Which particles are found in the nucleus of a gold atom?
Not just "most" atoms , but all atoms are composed of protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus, and electrons surrounding the nucleus in the electron cloud. And these atoms include gold.
Does the nucleus contain neutrons and electrons?
No, the nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Electrons are outside of the nucleus.
Where are the protons of cobalt located Where are the neutrons located Where are the electrons located?
The protons and neutrons of cobalt just like any other element are located in the nucleus whereas the electrons are located in the energy shells.
Why does the number of electrons have little effect on overall mass of atom?
The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus are much heavier than an electron. Protons and neutrons are almost the same weight as each other and are just over 1800 times as heavy as an electron. there are the same number of electrons as protons in a neutral atom and typically a number of neutrons as well, so the percentage by weight of electrons is very small.
Does electron proton and neutron have charge?
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
What are counted in an an atom to determine mass number?
Atomic Mass: protons AND neutrons atomic number: just protons
Are protrons and electrons the same?
No, protons and electrons are not the same. They both are important in chemistry. The proton has a positive elementary charge, while the electron has a negative elementary charge. Electrons are much smaller than protons. Protons can be found in the nucleus of an atom (along with neutrons most of the time-- the exception is the element Hydrogen with just a proton and an electron), while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
