The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
A carbon-40 atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 34 neutrons.
Protons and neutrons exist in the nucleus of an atom. The electrons in an atom exist outside the nucleus. All elements have at least one proton; in fact the number of protons, which are positively charged, determines which element it is. Normally, all the elements except hydrogen (H) also contain neutrons, which have no charge (they're neutral, hence their name.)
Electrons are never found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the protons. They exist in shells that surround the nucleus.
The majority of an atom's mass comes from its nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are joined. The electrons of an atom are so distant and so minuscule in size, that their weight is negligible. When calculating the mass of an atom is therefore protons+neutrons.
No it can't. There has to an equal amount of electrons as protons! This atom can't exist.
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
Nucleus
No, only protons and neutrons exist in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are what produce a negative charge.
An atom can be either an oxygen atom or a carbon atom. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and can vary in types based on the number of protons in their nucleus. Oxygen atoms have 8 protons, while carbon atoms have 6 protons.
Protons are typically found within the nucleus of an atom, where they are bound by the strong nuclear force to neutrons. Protons can exist independently in the form of free protons, but they are unstable and tend to quickly capture an electron to form a hydrogen atom.
It does not exist If it did exist it would be 30Al+
That is called the nucleus. It is positively charged and it makes up most of the atom's mass.
A carbon-40 atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 34 neutrons.
When the number of protons is different another atom exist; the number of protons is specific for only one element.
