Consider the nucleus of an atom like a magnet and the circling electrons as metal bullets. When there is 1 Proton and 1 Electron, the charges balance out. The pull in of the magnet and the pull away of the bullet keeps the bullet circling. If there are then 2 magnets, the bullet then does not have enough energy to keep circling, and it crashes into the center, creating a neutron.
In order to balance the atomic attraction forces with electron repulisive forces, neutrons in the nuclei of atoms are formed by 'binding force'. This strong force exceeds the repulsiveness of a single proton/electron pair but does not exceed a double proton/electron pair. Therefore, Hydrogen with one proton can potentially have 1 or 2 neutrons, but Helium with two protons 'needs' a minimum of two neutrons for atomic stability.
What else can I help you with?
What are the names of 2 nucleons?
The particles found in the nucleus are collectively called nucleons. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.
What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
Nuclei that have an excess of netrons can become stable by emitting what?
Nuclei that have an excess of neutrons can become stable by emitting beta particles (electrons or positrons). This process helps the nucleus increase its neutron-to-proton ratio and achieve a more stable configuration.
Which is slight more massive then a proton?
Neutrons contain slightly more mass.
In the process of nuclear fusion four hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a nucleus of what?
A helium nucleus plus energy released. see the link below
What nuclei would be the most stable?
10 protons, 12 neutrons

Which is slight more massive then a proton?
Neutrons contain slightly more mass.
What mass do neutrons have?
Slightly more than that of a proton plus an electron.
Could a nucleus of more than one proton but no neutrons exist?
No , because the neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus.
How can you use the word neutrons in a sentence?
Hydrogen has one proton, and one electron. However deuterium is hydrogen with one neutrons. Tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
When the proton number grows more are required to keep the nucleus together?
neutrons
What makes up the nucleus of the atom?
There are only two stable subatomic particles, Protons and Neutrons. Protons: Positive charge, 1amu The "atomic number" of an element gives the number of protons in its nucleus. Neutrons: No charge, makes up rest of the atomic mass, 1amu each The nucleus of every element contains one or more of each kind of stable subatomic particle, except for hydrogen which has ONE proton, but no neutrons
What three deuterium of hydrogen?
Your question makes no sense.ordinary hydrogen has 1 proton and no neutronsdeuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutrontritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons, it is radioactive with a halflife of about 12 yearsThere are more isotopes of hydrogen with more neutrons, but they are radioactive and have such short halflives that they are nearly undetectable.
What atom's nucleus contains neutrons?
An atoms nucleus contains neutrons as well as electrons and thc drops that get you real blitzed so learn your science and get a job brothers and sisters
