What part of the atom causes the nucleus to have a positive charge?

The protons in the nucleus are positively charged, and their presence is what gives the nucleus an overall positive charge. Electrons balance this positive charge with their negative charge, resulting in a neutral atom.


Does the nucleus of an atom have a positive or negative charge?

Usually, the whole atom is neutral. However, the nucleus has a positive charge because it is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons have positive charges but neutrons have no charge at all.The atomic nucleus has a positive charge.


What are the negative and positive parts of an atom?

Negative: The negative part of an atom is the electrons which have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. Positive: The positive part of an atom is the nucleus which contains protons with a positive charge.


What did Bohr propose about electrons?

Bohr proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in fixed, circular paths or energy levels. These paths are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific energy levels and transition between them by absorbing or emitting energy. This formed the basis of the Bohr model of the atom.


Where is the positive ad negative charge located in an atom?

In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

How did Niels Bohr create his atom model?

Niels Bohr placed in the center of atom the atomic nucleus and electrons in movement around nucleus.


What did Niels Bohr contribute to the understanding of the atom?

Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model of the atom. It was an improvement on previous models (Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's model, etc.) which depicted the atom as a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons. Niels Bohr was also a member of the team of scientists working on the Manhattan Project.


Were is the nucleolus on a Bohr model?

An atom does not have a nucleolus, but it does have an atomic nucleus which is located in the center of the atom, including the Bohr model.


When did Bohr discover that most of an atom's mass is in the nucleus?

Bohr did not discover this. Ernest Rutherford 'discovered' the nucleus. This was done in 1911.


What were the two main factors of Bohr's atomic theory?

- an atom has a positive charge in the nucleus and a negative charge in the electron cloud; the atom is normally neutral- these charges are separated


What was Bohr's Simily for the atom?

Niels Bohr compared the atom to a miniature solar system, with the nucleus at the center like the sun and electrons orbiting around it in specific energy levels like planets. This was known as the Bohr model of the atom.


Who drew the atom as a nucleus surrounded by electrons?

Dalton 'drew' the first atom, however, this was essentially a circle with a letter in it. The popular version of the atom, as seen today, was theorized by Rutherford.


What is the basic structure of an atom as postulated by Bohr?

the centre has a nucleus


What did Bohr hypothesize about the atom?

Bohr hypothesized that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels or shells, and that they can jump between these levels by absorbing or emitting energy. This led to the development of the Bohr model of the atom, which provided a more accurate description than previous models.
