What are atoms like in the inside?

At the center of an atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, which have a negative charge. The electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbits.


How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic?

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you subtract the atomic number (which represents the number of protons) from the atomic mass. If the atomic mass is 36 and the atomic number is, for example, 18 (like Argon), you would calculate it as 36 - 18 = 18 neutrons. Thus, the atom would have 18 neutrons in its nucleus.


Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?

Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.


What do the neutrons do outside of the protons and electrons?

Neutrons help stabilize the atomic nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between positively charged protons. They contribute to the mass of the atom but do not participate in chemical reactions like protons and electrons do.


Can protons and neutrons normally leave the nucleus?

Protons and neutrons are normally bound within the nucleus by the strong nuclear force. However, they can be ejected from the nucleus in processes like radioactive decay or nuclear fission.

Particles that make up an atom?

There are three particles that make up an atom: electrons, protons, and neutrons. The electron is a tiny, light particle that has a negative charge. The proton is larger and heavier and has a positive charge. The neutron is large and heavy just like a proton, but this particle does not have any charge at all.


What makes an atom?

an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.

What is argon made from?

Argon, like any other element, is made of protons, electrons, and neutrons*. It can not be made from anything else, except by nuclear reactions. _______________________________ *Except that the hydrogen-1 isotope does not contain neutrons.
