Concept explainers
What particles are found in the nucleus of an atom? What is the charge of the nucleus?
Interpretation:
Particles found in the nucleus of an atom and the charge of the nucleus is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element. The atom makes up every single object.
Answer to Problem 39A
Particles found in nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons. Nucleus is positively charged due protons present in it.
Explanation of Solution
The basic building of matter is atoms. The nucleus is a dense, central particle of atom and consists of protons and neutrons and it is surrounded by electrons. Since neutron is neutral in charge and proton is positively charged, the nucleus has positive charge.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. It is positively charged.
