Proton (particle)

The proton is a +1 electrically-charged subatomic particle. It is composed of three elementary particles: one down quark and two up quarks. Protons, along with neutrons, make up the nucleus of an atom.

How many protons are in an atom of bismuth?

== The element bismuth has 83 protons. That's its atomic number. Remember that it's the number of protons in an element that determines the atomic number of that element. All atoms of bismuth have 83 protons. As to neutrons, the number of neutrons in bismuth atoms can vary. These other "flavors" of bismuth are its isotopes, and the numbers of neutrons in bismuth range from 101 to 135. It is bismuth-209 with 126 neutrons that represents all the natural bismuth we find. The rest of the isotopes are intentionally synthesized or created "incidentally" in nuclear reactions - like those in nuclear reactors, to cite one example. Links can be found below for more information. === ===

How many electrons and protons are in Chlorine negative?

I am assuming that by 'negative chlorine atom' you mean the ion, Cl- This has 17 Protons

18 electrons,

but the number of neutrons can vary, depending on the individual atom (which isotope)

On average there is 18 1/2, to give a Relative atomic mass of 35.45, so 18 or 19 neutrons, possibly others (I don't have a nucleide table sorry).

How many protons nutrons and electrons does argon have?

18 protons and 22 neutrons in the most commonly occurring isotope argon-40.

In argon-36 there are 18 neutrons but this isotope is only present in nature at 0.34%

Which has more protons aluminum or magnesium?

Magnisium has a different atomic mass to sodium plus they are in 2 separate periods, but im not sure about having more protons :)

Do electrons and protons repel?

ELECTRONS AND PROTONS ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE OPPOSITE CHARGES. OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT. IT IS LIKE FORCES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT EACH OTHER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE NUCLEUS THAT THEY ATTRACT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ELECTRONS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NUCLEUS. PROTONS ARE ON THE INSIDE. I REALLY HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION:)

Where are the proton neutron and electron located and what charge do they have?

AtomsThe charge on a proton is +1. Its location is the nucleus, and its mass is 1.67262 x 10-27 kg. Protons have an effective size of about 1.2 x 10-15 m, and the nucleus is roughly the cube root of the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) times that typical proton size, usually still on the order of 10-15 to 10-14 m in size.

The charge on an electron is -1. It is found in a region around the nucleus called the electron cloud. The mass of an electron is 9.10939 x 10-31 kg (1836 times lighter than the mass of a proton). The typical size of the electron cloud is usually 5 x 10-11 to 10-10 m in size, about 100,000 times larger than the nucleus.

The charge of a neutron is 0, and it is located in the nucleus along with the proton(s). The mass of the neutron is 1.67493 x 10-27 kg.

The elementary charge is equal to 1.60218 x 10-19 Coulombs. The proton and electron each carry this charge, but the sign of the charge will be positive for the proton, and negative for the electron.

Note: The mass of the proton and the mass of the neutron apply to the individual particles. When protons and neutrons are combined (fused) in a nucleus to make an atom, they all give up a bit of their mass (mass deficit) to create binding energy (or nuclear glue). This is necessary to offset the repulsion of the protons (which are like charges, and like charges repel), and it is absolutely necessary for this to happen to make the nucleus stick together.

See the Related Questions for more information about the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom.

Is there one protons and nucleus in atom?

Yes, all atoms have a nucleus!

The Nucleus is the part of the atom which holds the Protons and Neutrons, the Electrons orbit the "atomic nucleus". The atomic nucleus is different to the nucleus of a cell, which holds genetic information and allows the cell to operate.

Do ionic bonds involve sharing protons?

no, that is covalent bonding!

Ionic bonding involves the exchange of electrons from one atom to the other causing the receiving atom to become negatively charged and the other positively charged.

hope this helped!

How do protons neutron and electrons differ?

Electrons hold a negative charge while neutrons are neutral and protons are positive.

Electrons are leptons having no internal structure (leptons are generally believed to be point particles, having zero volume), protons and neutrons are baryons composed of three quarks (leptons) with a measurable volume.

What is the element with most protons?

The element with the most protons can change at any time so I can't give you a per fect answer but as I am aware of as of 2/19/2009 the unofficial element with the most electrons is ununoctium (Uuo) and the highest official is Roentgenium (Rg) at 111.

P.S. there's this guy named Michael Dayah and he update this periodic table contsantly you should check it out if this gets out dated!!!!

How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?

Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.

Where are neutron electron protons located?

Neutons, located in the nucleus. Protons, also located the the nucleus but Elecrons, there is further study.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of the isotope of lanthanum named lanthanum-138?

Protons: Any atom of lanthanum has 57 protons.

Neutrons: Lanthanum has 30 radioactive isotopes with neutron numbers ranging from 60 to 96 but the only stable isotope(139La) has 82 neutrons.

Electrons: The number of electrons is normally the same as the number of protons.

What elements allow electricity to pass through?

Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.

A circuit lets electricity flow through it.

Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.


Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.

Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of current
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.

A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.

Who was given credit for discovering the proton?

Ernest Rutherford is credited with the discovery of the proton.

How many protons dose fluoride have?

Every fluoride ion contains 9 protons. The only common ion of fluorine has a single negative charge, indicating that it contains one more electron than proton, or 10 electrons. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number (same as the number of protons). The most common isotope of fluorine is F-19, which contains 19 - 9 = 10 neutrons.

What element has 2 electrons 3 protons 4 Neutrons?

There is no such element: an element is neutral, so it has equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Impossible:

2 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons is the IMpossible He-1 isotope with mass number 6 (=2p+4n). Helium does not accept electrons because it is noble.

Possible:

2 protons 4 neutrons and 2 electrons is (elemental) Helium, isotope with mass number 6 (=2p+4n)

3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons is (elemental) Lithium

How high is the reactivity of iron?

The reactivity of iron is quite high, as it reacts by coming into contact with moisture in the air.
