They are found in the atom's nucleus.
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
A hydrogen atom has 1 proton in its nucleus. Since the helium-4 atom has twice as many protons as hydrogen, it has 2 protons. Helium-4 also has 2 neutrons, hence the name "4" representing the total number of protons and neutrons.
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
The three main particles in an atom are the protons, neutrons and electrons. Electrons orbit around the atoms where the others 'reside' in the center. Protons are positively charged where neutrons have no charge.
The atomic nucleus is the part of the atom that contains protons and neutrons.
All atoms contain protons and neutrons (with the only exception of the 1H atom, which has only a single proton).
That would be the nucleus of the atom
