no the proton and the neutron are in a atom if there are so many protons it will over power the neutron if there are to many neutrons it will over power the proton neutrons and protons must be equal for the atom to be stable.

One of the kinds of particles found in the nucleus of an atom is the?
There are two particles found in the nuclei of atoms, Protons and Neutrons.
Most atoms contain one or more?
In fact all atoms contain one or more protons and an equal number of electrons. Most atoms contain one or more neutrons, the exception being Hydrogen atoms which have none.
How do neutrons electrons and protons relate to nuclear energy?
These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
Why do you think that atoms have neutrons?
The nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong force, to which both protons and neutrons contribute. The problem is that protons also contribute to the electromagnetic force, which repulses the protons from each other. The strong force has a much smaller range than the electromagnetic force, so in large atoms, protons only receive the attractive strong force from the protons around it while receiving the repulsive electromagnetic force from all of the protons in the nucleus. This is why large atoms tend to be unstable, and where neutrons come in. Neutrons add to the attractive strong force while having no charge that would add to the repulsive electromagnetic force. Without neutrons, the larger atoms could not stay together, their nuclei would be destroyed.
Atom are composed of neutrons and electrons?
atoms are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons..
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of OXYGEN?
All oxygen atoms contain 8 protons in their nuclei. All neutral oxygen atoms have 8 electrons. There are three isotopes of oxygen, containing 8,9, or 10 neutrons in their nuclei.
What is the number of protons neutrons electrons of oxygen?
All oxygen atoms contain 8 protons in their nuclei. All neutral oxygen atoms have 8 electrons. There are three isotopes of oxygen, containing 8,9, or 10 neutrons in their nuclei.
How do the number of neutrons and protons in nuclei of carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 differ?
Carbon is atomic number 6, so its atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. Carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons in addition to the 6 protons. Nitrogen is atomic number 7, so its atoms have 7 protons in their nuclei. Nitrogen-14 atoms have 7 neutrons in addition to the 7 protons.
What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?
The nuclei of heavier atoms simply have more neutrons and protons than do lighter atoms.
Why are atoms building blocks?
Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons.Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
What does a atoms nucleus contain?
protons and neutrons
What does atoms nucleus contain?
protons and neutrons
What does atoms contain?

Where are protons usually located?
Normally, protons are located in the nucleus* of atoms. * Atom nuclei are located in the exact center of atoms. Neutrons, when they are present, are located in the nuclei also.
What is an element made up of?
An element is made from atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
The particles that make up a sample of matter all have what?
Matter is formed from atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
Atoms consist of a nucleus containing?
Protons and neutrons ... which in turn contain quarks.
