What else can I help you with?
Where would you expect to find the 6 electrons in an atom of carbon?
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to what?
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
The nucleus of a helium atom contains four subatomic particles how many neutrons does the helium atom have?
Helium has two neutrons and two protons in its nucleus.
What are two main regions of an atom?
Nucleus and electrons
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
What are the three nuclear components of an atom?
Atoms have two nuclear components, protons & neutrons. Electrons orbit around (and sometimes through) the nucleus.
What is a Nucleus of a helium atom?
The nucleus of a helium atom contains two protons and two neutrons.
What force holds an atom to its nucleus?
its proton and its nucleus will have two protons so its electron and atom
Where would you expect to find the 6 electrons in an atom of carbon?
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
What are two particles in an atom?
There're two particles in the atom nucleus (protons and neutrons)
Why atomic mass is concentrated on the center of the atom?
The atom is essentially made out of two main components: the nucleus and the electrons. The nucleus is in the centre of the atom whilst the electrons orbit it from a distance. The mass of the electrons is almost negligible, being almost 2000 times smaller than a proton, which is part of the nucleus. The nucleus, whilst having a minute mass, is still many times greater than the electrons. This is why the mass is concentrated in the centre on the nucleus.
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to what?
The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What are helium atom nucleus?
The nucleus of a helium atom contains two protons and usually two neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 4 atomic mass units. It is positively charged due to the protons it contains, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus in the electron cloud.
How alpha decay affects the parent ATOM....not the nucleus.?
Nuclear decay, etc. is defined for the nucleus. The atom consists mostly of the nucleus. If the nucleus loses two protons (in the case of alpha decay) it will have two charges less; eventually it will tend to lose two electrons to become an electrically neutral atom.
What two parts will you find in the nucleus in a atom?
The two parts found in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge.
What two atomic particles are in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the two particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit around the atom
Where is the nucleus of an atom?
The number of nucleons in an atom can vary. A nucleon is either of the two components that make up an atomic nucleus. That's either a proton or a neutron. Different atoms have different numbers of nucleons, and even different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of nucleons (because of isotopic variation). Let's look an a couple of examples to make our point.In hydrogen-1, which is the simplest and most common form of hydrogen, there is one proton in the nucleus of the atom. It has 1 nucleon. In hydrogen-2, there are a proton and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 2 nucleons. In hydrogen-3, there are a proton and two neutrons in that nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. In helium-3, there are two protons and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. You can see what's happening if you think it through.
