Chances of the alpha particle directly hitting the nucleus?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and as such it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons and no electrons. Thus, it is positively charged. This makes it very unlikely that it will hit the nucleus which is also positively charged and will repel the alpha particle. The only way to get the alpha particle to hit the nucleus is to accelerate it to very high speeds.
Uncharged particle in the nucleus of an atom is?
The uncharged particle in the nucleus of an atom is called the neutron.
What particle with no charge in the nucleus of an atom are called?
The particle with no charge in the nucleus of an atom is a neutron
What subatomic particle is not found in nucleus?
This particle is the electron.
What is the particle in the nucleus similar in size to electron?
There is no such particle.

The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
What is the particle that circles the nucleus?
The negative particle that circles the nucleus is the electron.
What is the Negative particle that circles the nucleus?
The negative particle that circles the nucleus is the electron.
Is an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a?
An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom
Uncharged particle in the nucleus of an atom is?
The uncharged particle in the nucleus of an atom is called the neutron.
What particle with no charge in the nucleus of an atom are called?
The particle with no charge in the nucleus of an atom is a neutron
Is an electron a sub atomic particle in the nucleus that is attracted to electrons?
No, an electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus. A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus that is attracted to electrons.
What the the atomic particle not in the nucleus?
The electron is not located in the nucleus of an atom. Rather, they orbit around the outside of it.
Is a nucleus a particle?
No, the nucleus itself is not a particle. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are subatomic particles.
What is a particle with dna but no nucleus or cell wall?
A virus is a particle with DNA but no nucleus or cell wall.
What is positivity charged particle in the nucleus?
This particle is the proton.
