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.


Why does the electron of an atom not attracted by its own nucleus?

It is attracted by its own nucleus. It is the vector energy, mcv, that prevents it from falling into the nucleus. The vector energy creates an centrifugal forces that balances the nucleus centripetal forces : e^2zc/2r^2 = mcv/r cos(RV) provides the balance and the redshift and the redshift for electrons cos(RV) = alpha/n. The cos(RV) is the tangent angle needed to balance the attraction of the nucleus.


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.


What are the two types of motion that the electrons of an atom exhibit?

The two types of motion that electrons exhibit in an atom are orbital motion around the nucleus, and spin motion on their own axis. Orbital motion refers to the movement of electrons in specific energy levels around the nucleus, while spin motion refers to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of an electron on its axis.


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.

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.

Is an electron found in the nucleus?

No, it is never to be found in the nucleus, it is in electron orbits or 'shells', each with its own the energy level.

Is the number of protons within an atom of an electron is equal to its atomic mas?

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is its atomic number. Each element has its own unique atomic number. An individual atom's atomic mass is the sum of the masses of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.


What is the area in an atom that is outside and around the nucleus?

do you mean outside of a nucleus?if so, electronsAnother AnswerIf we were small enough to see the individual parts of an atom, outside the atom would be more space. As we get larger, heading back to our own size, at a certain scale we would see the atom's vibration and ripples in space turn into the molecular boundary. As we continue to return to our normal size, we would see the billions of atoms in a cubic mm. As we reach our normal size, we would see the normal world which is made up from the countless number of molecules/atoms arraigned in incredible combinations.


What is the area outside the nucleus where electrons are found?

what is the area outside the nucleus where electrons are found


What particles make up most of the mass of an atom.What makes up mot of te volume of an atom?

Oh, dude, most of the mass of an atom comes from protons and neutrons hanging out in the nucleus like the cool kids they are. But when it comes to volume, it's all about those electron clouds just chilling out in the outer regions, taking up space and giving the atom its size. So, yeah, protons and neutrons bring the mass, while electrons bring the volume. It's like a party where everyone has their own role to play.


Are electrons located in the nucleus?

electrons are way way far away from the center (nucleus) of the atom. lets say the nucleus was the size of a basketball, the electrons would be marbles that are flying around miles away from the nucleus. this is one of the greatest mysteries of the atom, it's really taxing on the imagination when you realize how much of the atom is made up of empty space, and then to think about how everything is made up of atoms, that means everything is nearly 99.9% empty space.ContinuationThe nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and sometimes neutrons. The electron in orbit around the nucleus is ~1800 times smaller than a proton.We perceive everything from the macro side of the molecular boundary. Atoms naturally roll and tumble as they wander through space, and as such, they appear as vibrating spheroids from our perspective.


What is electron shielding and what impact does it have on atomic radius?

The electrons in the atom surround the nucleus, and the higher the atomic number of the element the more electrons there are. Unless it is ionised, there will be an equal number of protons in the nucleus and electrons surrounding the atom. Ideas of how the electrons are arranged have evolved from imagining them to be in orbit around the nucleus, like a small solar system, to modern ideas of quantum physics where it is best to imagine them as an electron 'cloud'. However the idea of electron shells is still useful, this is as imagined by Bohr in the twenties of the last century, where concentric shells contain fixed numbers of electrons according to strict rules on their composition. Your query on 'electron shielding' is probably to do with these electron shells, and the more shells there are determines the effective size of the atom. You can read more in the link below
