The nucleus is pretty much light. But it contains the most mass of an atom.
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
The opposite of heavy is light.
its lite not light
The antonym for heavy is light.
The opposite of heavy is light.
The density of an element depends on the number of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atom nucleus.
Neutrons are considered heavy subatomic particles compared to other fundamental particles like electrons. They have a mass slightly greater than that of protons, making them essential in determining the mass of an atomic nucleus. While not "heavy" in an everyday sense, they are significantly more massive than light particles.
fission.
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
The density of the nucleus can be seen using the light microscope, because the light microscope enlarges or makes the nucleus bigger.
The opposite of heavy is light.
A heavy ion is the nucleus of a heavy atom. Heavy atoms are those of elements with atomic weights around that of cobalt or greater.
Neutrons in nucleus
Nuclear fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the combining of light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy.
Because the nucleus of an atom is where all the mass bearing particle comprising an atom reside.
Because the nucleus of an atom is where all the mass bearing particle comprising an atom reside.
Fusion and fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion involves combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while fission involves splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into lighter nuclei. The main difference is the process by which energy is released: fusion releases energy when light nuclei combine, while fission releases energy when heavy nuclei split.
