The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Most of the elements with low atomic numbers are equally protons and neutrons. However, as elements get heavier they will have more neutrons than protons, and since each weigh the same amount (1 Atomic Mass unit) these nuclei will get most of their weight from the neutrons.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
Where is the electron most likely to be found in the nucleus of an atom?
The electron is most likely to be found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom, rather than inside the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are located in the electron orbitals outside the nucleus.
The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
Why did Tim conclude that all matter is mostly made of empty space?
Tim concluded that all matter is mostly made of empty space because when he studied the structure of atoms, he found that they consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a distance. The vast majority of an atom's volume is empty space between the nucleus and the electrons, leading Tim to believe that matter is mostly empty space.
What 3 important things did Ernest Rutherford experiment results show?
Ernest Rutherford's experiment results showed that atoms have a small, positively charged nucleus at the center. He also discovered that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus, and that electrons orbit the nucleus in a mostly empty space.
What is mostly inside an atom?
Nucleus
What is most of an atom made of?
In terms of weight, the major proportion consists of protons and netrons which are found in the nucleus. In terms of volume, electrons which surround the nucleus in a cloud.
What makes up the weight an atom or molecule?
The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
What is the inside of atom mostly made of?
The inside of an atom is mostly made of protons and neutrons, which are located in the nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons, which move around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
What is the weight of the nucleus of this atom?
6
What part of a atom has weight?
the nucleus and everything in the nucleus like protons and neutrons
Which part of the nucleus is mostly made of RNA and proteins?
nucleolus
Where does the nuclear enengy come from?
It comes from the fission of certain nuclei, mostly U235 and Pu239. Every fission of a nucleus of an atom of these materials releases a certain amount of energy as heat.
Why the nucleus important to a cell?
the only way for the genetical reforming is the nucleus and also nucleus can control the functioning of the entire cell mostly than other organells.
What is mostly between electrons?
In an atom, the space between electrons and the nucleus is mostly filled with empty space. The nucleus contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and the electrons surround the nucleus in different energy levels or electron shells.
What monitors what comes in and out of the cell or nucleus?
what monitors what come in and out of cell or nucleus
Discovered the nucleus and that atom was composed of mostly empty space?
Rutherford
