What does the nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?

The nucleus of an atom, having a positive charge, exerts an attractive force on the atom's negative electrons.


What does a nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electron?

Nothing. Neither atoms nor their components (e.g. nucleus, electrons) want anything. They have no will or thought of any kind. Anthropomorphizing natural phenomena in this way only interferes with proper understanding of reality.


What does the nucleus of an atom want to do to its own electrons in a covalent bond?

The nucleus of an atom in a covalent bond wants to attract and share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable.


Can you find a nucleus on its own in nature?

Yes, but you really don't want to. The only nucleus that can be found in nature is the alpha particle, emitting through nuclear decay. This is the nucleus of a helium atom and when it hits, you, it steals two electrons and ionizes your skin. This causes radiation burns.


Which number associated with an atom is a characteristic property?

Atomic number is a characteristic property of an atom. Each element has its own unique atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.


Part of the atom that contains protons and neutrons is called?

Surely it's just a nucleus, as every version of an element is an isotope in its own right, and the atomic and molar masses are just an average made by relative abundance...hope this helps.


Is H2 atom?

It appears there is a typo in your question. If you are asking about the hydrogen atom (H), it consists of one proton in its nucleus and one electron orbiting the nucleus. The hydrogen atom is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe.


Why is equipment needed to change the nucleus of an atom?

You don't really need equipment to change the nucleus of an atom. If the atom is radioactive, then it is inherently unstable, and it will change of its own accord, and on its own time frame, relative to half-life.


How many nucleus are in a arsenic?

As all atoms do, arsenic has one nucleus. That nucleus consists of 33 protons and 42 neutrons.


What is the difference between an atom and a nucleus?

An atom is the complete building block of all elements, each element has its own unique atomic formation. An atom consists of a nucleus with a cloud of electrons surrounding it, and is electrically neutral unless ionised. The nucleus at the center of the atom consists of protons which are positively charged, and neutrons which are uncharged, and these are all bound together by the 'strong nuclear force', which has a very short range so it only is effective within the nucleus. Each chemical element (see the Periodic Table) is defined by a unique number of protons called the Atomic Number, and can have a variable number of neutrons so that there are different isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons in the atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, unless the atom has been ionised.


Makes up protons neutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged. Together, these particles determine the chemical and physical properties of an element.


How many times greater is the diameter of an atom than the diameter of its nucleus?

Well it is not a fixed ratio, each element has its own diameter for the atom and nucleus depending on atomic number and atomic weight. but an idea can be given: for a certain elemnt the atom daimeter is 225 picometer and the nucleus diameter is 6 femtometer ,the ratio would be ( 225x 10^ - 12) /(6x 10^ - 15)= 37500.
