1. Atoms are tiny particles of matter that are made up of three particles. Which particles are located in the nucleus? * 2 points electrons protons elements neutrons
The particles located in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.
are you positive?
Yes, I am positive. Protons and neutrons are indeed located in the nucleus of an atom.
The particles located in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.
Protons are positively charged particles, while neutrons have no charge (they are neutral). Electrons, on the other hand, are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom in regions called electron shells or energy levels.
To determine which particles are located in the nucleus of an atom, you can refer to the periodic table. The atomic number of an element, represented by the symbol Z, tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. For example, an atom with an atomic number of 6 (like carbon) will have 6 protons in its nucleus.
Neutrons, on the other hand, are not always equal to the number of protons. The number of neutrons in an atom can vary, resulting in different isotopes of an element. To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number of the element. The mass number, represented by the symbol A, is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
So, to determine which particles are located in the nucleus, you need to know the atomic number (for protons) and the mass number (to calculate the number of neutrons) of the atom in question.
