The nucleus of an atom is primarily composed of two types of particles: protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. Protons carry a positive electric charge, while neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of protons determines the atomic number and identity of the element, whereas neutrons contribute to the mass and stability of the nucleus. Together, these particles are held together by the strong nuclear force.

What are the other particles of atom?

Atoms contain three main particles. Electrons- which are negatively charged and swarm around the nucleus. Protons- which are positively charged, and are tightly packed in the nucleus. Neutrons- which are neutrally charged and are packed together with the protons in the nucleus of the atom. They are held there by strong nuclear force. You're welcome.

What structure of the atom has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles?

The structure of the atom that has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles is the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, tightly packed together in the center of the atom.

How tightly packed the atoms are in an object?

Everything on an atomic scale is very small. However, if you consider the subatomic particles: Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus are tightly packed together. But, the electrons and the electron cloud are relatively distantly separated from the nucleus giving the atom a size much greater than the sum of the sizes of the individual components.

Where are the particles in the 3 states of matter?

In solids, particles are tightly packed together and have a fixed shape. in liquids, particles are loosely packed together and will form to the shape of their container. both solids and liquids have a fixed volume. But gases do not. Their particles have no forces of attraction so they will spread out to fill their container. this means they have an undefined volume. But atoms in each state are still made up of neutrons and protons inside the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it.
