What else can I help you with?
Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
Yes, heavier nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons. This is because the strong nuclear force, which holds the nucleus together, helps balance the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons. Having more neutrons helps stabilize the nucleus by increasing this attractive force.
Why do heavy elements neclei contain proportionally more neutrons than light element nuclei?
Heavy elements contain more protons, which repel each other due to their positive charge. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus by adding nuclear binding energy without adding additional electrostatic repulsion like protons do. Therefore, heavy nuclei tend to have more neutrons to help balance out the increased number of protons.
Why is the number of electrons more than nucleus in the sea of electrons model?
In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
When 2 hydrogen nuclei fuse do they make helium?
No, an element depends on the average amount of electrons it has. Actually in stellar nuclear fusion it takes 4 hydrogen nuclei to fuse to make one helium nucleus, the process is called proton-proton burning.
What elements have more than 92 protons in their nuclei?
radioactive.
Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
Yes, heavier nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons. This is because the strong nuclear force, which holds the nucleus together, helps balance the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons. Having more neutrons helps stabilize the nucleus by increasing this attractive force.
What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?
Heavy atoms have more protons and neutrons in their nuclei compared to light atoms. This increases the nuclear charge and mass of heavy atoms, making them less stable and more prone to undergo radioactive decay.
What do a heavy nuclei need to remain stable?
Heavy nuclei need to have a balanced ratio of protons to neutrons to remain stable. They also need to have the strong nuclear force between nucleons overcome the electrostatic repulsion between protons. Additionally, the nuclei need to have a sufficient binding energy to hold the nucleus together.
Why do heavy elements neclei contain proportionally more neutrons than light element nuclei?
Heavy elements contain more protons, which repel each other due to their positive charge. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus by adding nuclear binding energy without adding additional electrostatic repulsion like protons do. Therefore, heavy nuclei tend to have more neutrons to help balance out the increased number of protons.
Has one less proton than N in the nucleus?
Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons in their nuclei. You can know this because the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, and the atomic number is the number of protons. So the element that has one less proton than nitrogen in the nuclei of its atoms is carbon, which is atomic number 6, so it has 6 protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
Does Anions have more protons than electrons?
anions have more electrons than protons
Which results in a more vaulable product - adding or subtracting protons from gold nuclei?
If you subtract one proton, you get platinum. If you add one proton, you get mercury. Platinum is considerably more valuable than mercury. If you add or subtract more than one, all bets are off. If you add enough, you get a transuranic element, which are much more valuable than gold.
An atom with an imbalance of electrons and protons is called?
I'm not sure there's a word for it. Ones with fewer neutrons might be "neutron-deficient" (or "neutron poor"), though a) that's probably politically incorrect and b) I think it refers to nuclei that have less than the optimal number of neutrons, even if it isn't actually less than the number of protons.
Why is the number of electrons more than nucleus in the sea of electrons model?
In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
What are nuclei's?
nuclei is plural for nucleus, meaning more than one nucleus
Why is a larger nucleus not as stable as a smaller nucleus?
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.
