the parts of an atom stay together because the the protons and electrons have opposite charges protons are positive and electrons are negative so the attract each other and hold the atom together. The electrons don't end up in the nucleus because the neutrons neutral charge reflects the electrons to not get too close.

opposites attract. the particles are attracted to the positively charged particles.


Why do atomic physicists not know why all of the atomic particles stay together within an atom?

Atomic physicists do not fully understand why all atomic particles stay together within an atom because the forces that hold them together, such as the strong nuclear force, are complex and not yet fully understood.


What causes the particles to the atom to stay together?

Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.

Why are neutrons in the nucleus of an atom if they have no charge?

well they aren't going to orbit if they have no charge. They hold the protons together. Protons, with the same charge, wouldn't stay together without neutrons.

What causes the particles of an atom to stay together?

Particles in an atom are held together by the electromagnetic force between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons orbiting around it. Additionally, the strong nuclear force acts between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus to keep them bound together. The balance of these forces determines the stability of an atom.


Every atom is made up of how many parts?

Every atom consists of sub-atomic particles called which neutrons, protons and electrons. Electrons revolve around the nucleus and protons and neutrons stay inside the nucleus.
