In an Atom, What is between the nucleus and the electrons??

Answer 1

The neutron is the centre of the atom and the electrons whizz around it. The nubbier of electrons decides what the atom is substance is: I think if it has one electron it is hydrogen if it has ten it is something else. This is why the idea of being an alchemist was popular earlier times. They knew or thought they knew that one substance could be changed into another, but not why. In theory then is is possible to change say silver into gold by regulating the number of electons. That's what I was told anyway :

Answer 2

The nucleus is the "brain" of a cell, controlling the functions performed by the cell and containing its dna.

Atoms are made up of three types of components; protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral (neither). There are the same number of protons as electrons so the overall charge of the particle is also neutral (except if it's an ion but that's irrelevant). The protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons and sit in circle in the centre, whilst the electrons sort of whizz around the outside (like those pictures that look like flowers drawn with compasses :D).

The atomic number and mass number (the ones next to the symbol on the periodic table) are determined by the amounts of this stuff in an atom e.g. 12 protons and 12 electrons would mean an atomic number of 12, whereas the mass number (the bigger one) is the total of all the protons, neutrons and electrons present.

It is the number these bits in an atom which determine what element it is, and also how it behaves.

Answer 3

The electrons are negatively charged, the nucleus is positively charged, thus the atoms are kept still with the nuclei attracted to the electrons of other particles, but the electrons of both keeping them apart. the nucleus contains protons and nutrons, the protons are positively charged, the nutrons contain both electron and proton inside and so are not charged. The nucleus is in the centre and if it isn't stable, then it ejects particles and radiation to become stable. The electrons are in very fast orbit around the nucleus. Most of the atom is empty.

Answer 4

Dont confuse the kid!!!!

There is nothing between the nucleus and the electron..it like the earth revolving around the sun if that easier to imagine

Answer 5

nothing apart frm the magnetic attraction keeping the electrons roataing round

Answer 6

Demons, demons.

Answer 7

lots and lots and lots of empty space :)

Answer 8

empty space

Answer 9

nothing
