Why are protons situated only in nucleus?

It is protons and neutrons that are known as nucleons when they are considered as the building blocks of an atomic nucleus. Electrons are not considered nucleons. Electrons form up in orbitals around an atomic nucleus. It is the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of a given atom and not the electrons. A related question is linked below.


What is an electron called when it is being released during beta decay?

It is in beta minus decay that we see an electron appear to leave the nucleus of an atom. The electron is called a beta minus particle, or we might term that electron beta minus radiation.


Is it true tha if you see a eukarote cell you can identify the nucleus and several organelles?

Yes, all eukaryotes have organelles and a nucleus, but you just have to have a microscope to see them with. Most light microscopes aren't powerful enough to see organelles other than the nucleus and nucleolus, so you would need an electron microscope too see them.


Can you see the nucleus under a compound microscope?

http://www.fidelitysystems.com/Unlinked_DNA.html contains a photo of DNA obtained via an electronic microscope. Note added by another user: This is NOT a photo of DNA under a compound microscope. This is DNA under a scanning electron microscope.


Is electron an example of a lepton?

Yes. In physics, electrons are defined under the classification of leptons. Yes. Leptons are a class of elementary particles that interact with each other by the weak interaction. The electron is one of these particles.

How do scientists see the mitochondria and nucleus?

The Nucleus is seen through the use of an Optical Microscope and The Mitochondria is seen through an Electron Microscope.


If there are no electrons can you see a nucleus?

If electron is not there,there is no electromagnetic field(no Space actually).so there is no life(nothing can exist).But through imagination you can see the nucleus and you can feel it through the 6th dimension.


Where the location of electron?

There is no exact location of the electron. The electron is outside the nucleus orbiting the center of the atom. You can't see it because it rotates so fast and is so small. So we can't indicate the exact location of the electron.


What is bigger a quark or an electron?

Any one of the six quarks is heavier than the electron. Said another way, the electron is lighter than any of the six quarks. All quarks and the electron are fundamental particles, by the way. Use the link below to see a chart of the fundamental particles, which inclues the mass of each particle. Note that the mass of each particle is expressed as its energy equivalent.

What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?

The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.

IS POSITRON IS NUCLEON?

No, a positron is not a nucleon.The term nucleon is applied to one of the two constituent particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Those are the proton and the neutron, which are baryons.Whereas, positrons is a subatomic particle having the same mass as an electron but with an electric charge of +1 (an electron has a charge of −1).It constitutes the antiparticle of an electron. We don't see antimatter particles of any kind hanging around long in our "reality" here. (They "combine" with their antiparticles, and mutual annihilation will occur.)Should we investigate an antimatter universe, the positron will orbit the nucleus of an antimatter atom, just like the electron does in the atoms we look at. Naturally the nucleus of an antimatter atom will be composed of anti-protons and anti-neutrons.

Do electrons surround the nucleus of the atom?

well electrons are negatively charged particles who are moving around the positive nucleus in elliptical circles which are technically called orbits,every electron remains with his nucleus until some strong force compells him to make bond with the neighbouring item and the result comes in the form of covelent bonds,ionic bonds etc. How many electrons are there in each shell(orbit)which can be calculated by the simple formula 2n2 where n stands for the number of the orbit in which electrons are moving likewise for first orbit put n=1 in the above formula you get answer 2 it means that first orbit contains maximum 2 electrons. put 2 in the above you get 8 and so on. This is a short version of electron orbit many more details will be in future if you have still some ambguity you can make a message to me at the following e-mail address shahqau1978@gmail.com it orbits the nucleus that consists of nuetrons and protons.


Which electrons have the most energy in a atom?

Potential energy. Potential energy = mass * gravitational constant * height As you see, the further the electron is from the nucleus ( how " high " it is ) the more energy it contains. So, that would be the outer valance electron(s).


How many electrons are in each shell surrounding the nucleus?

The electron configuration is different for each element; see the link below for details.
