What else can I help you with?
Are protons and neutrons surrounding the nucleus?
Yes, Protons and Neutrons are in the nucleus. Electrons are surrounding the nucleus in shells from far away.
Does atom constitute only neutron protons and electrons?
Kinda. There may or may not be smaller things inside the neutrons, protons and electrons, but yes protons neutrons and electrons are the only subatomics that have been proven to exist. There are also the Strong Nuclear Force (which keeps protons from pushing each other away) and the Weak Nuclear Force which has something to do with quarks and W and Z bosons (which are inside protons neutrons and electrons). However these are forces and not particles.
What particle make up the nucleus of an atom?
protons and neutrons
Where are the elections protonsand neutrons located in an atom?
The location of subatomic particles within the atom are as follows: electrons are outside the nucleus and are found in different energy levels, or distances away from the nucleus. They carry a negative charge. Protons are found inside the nucleus, and carry a positive charge. Neutrons are also found inside the nucleus but do not carry any charge.
Do nucleons hold protons together in the nucleus?
Yes, the protons help hold an atomic nucleus together. Let's look at things and figure this one out. Protons are positively charged, as you know, and like charges repel. That's basic electrostatics. The Coulomb forces of the protons push them away from each other. Further, when protons are packed into an atomic nucleus, they're still pushing away from each other. Let's consider what happens when an atomic nucleus forms. The term nucleon is how we refer to protons and neutrons when they are used as building blocks of an atomic nucleus. And the nucleons all undergo what is called mass deficit when that atomic nucleus if forced together in nuclear fusion. All the nucleons lose some mass during the fusion process, and this mass is converted into nuclear binding energy. The nuclear binding energy is also called nuclear glue, or residual strong interaction (residual strong force). And it is this force that overcomes the repulsive force of the protons, and it keeps the nucleus together. It turns out that both the protons and neutrons are involved in the "magic" that holds the nucleus together, as we've seen. Certainly the protons cannot do it by themselves, and the neutrons are necessary. But the protons have to give up some mass as well so that residual strong force can appear and mediate the fusion process that holds the nucleus together. It's really that simple.
Are protons and neutrons surrounding the nucleus?
Yes, Protons and Neutrons are in the nucleus. Electrons are surrounding the nucleus in shells from far away.
The nucleus of an atom consists what part?
an atom consists of a central nucleus of protons and neutrons with electrons moving around it some distance away.
What type of information does the atomic number provide?
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus. The proton number on the other hand states just the number of protons in an atoms nucleus, hence the atomic number take away the proton number equals the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus.
How many neutrons does the nucleus of a nitrogen atom contain?
there are 7 neutrons because when you take away the number of protons, which is 7 as well, from the atomic mass, which is 14 when rounded, you get 7 which is the number of neutrons in nitrogen.
What are the composition of atoms?
Speaking very generally, most atoms consist of a dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud away from the nucleus which contains electrons.
Can you transform lead into gold?
Take away 3 protons from the nucleus of lead and an appropriate number of neutrons (depending on isotope desired).
What are the 2 regions of the atom?
In general, the nucleus and the electron cloud are the two distinct features of the volume of the atom. The nucleus is home to the proton(s) and whatever neutrons are present, and the electron cloud is where the electrons all hang out. The nucleus, with its protons and neutrons, has most of an atom's mass concentrated there. The electrons are relatively far away, and the orbits they describe give the atom its "shape" by defining its volume in space.
Does atom constitute only neutron protons and electrons?
Kinda. There may or may not be smaller things inside the neutrons, protons and electrons, but yes protons neutrons and electrons are the only subatomics that have been proven to exist. There are also the Strong Nuclear Force (which keeps protons from pushing each other away) and the Weak Nuclear Force which has something to do with quarks and W and Z bosons (which are inside protons neutrons and electrons).

What 2 types of particles exist within atomic nucleus?
It depends in where you want to end your search. The "larger" particles are protons and neutrons. These in turn are made up of quarks - Protons are made of two Up and one Down quark. The neutron is made of two Down and one Up quark. The difference is that Up quarks have a 2/3 positive charge and the Down has a 1/3 negative charge. The two types of quarks are your two basic particles. At the present time no proposal has been made for quark building blocks,
What particle make up the nucleus of an atom?
protons and neutrons
Why the protons in the nucleus have less repulsion than electron?
Protons in the nucleus are tightly bound together by the strong nuclear force, which is stronger than the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons. Electrons, on the other hand, are much lighter and are located further away from each other in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, resulting in weaker repulsive forces between them.
Where are the elections protonsand neutrons located in an atom?
The location of subatomic particles within the atom are as follows: electrons are outside the nucleus and are found in different energy levels, or distances away from the nucleus. They carry a negative charge. Protons are found inside the nucleus, and carry a positive charge. Neutrons are also found inside the nucleus but do not carry any charge.
