Can someone describe major subatomic particles that make up an atom

Biology

irinina [24]3 years ago

The main 3 subatomic particles that makes up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Protons and neutrons exists inside the nucleus of the atom, while electrons moves freely outside the nucleus.

Protons are positive in charge, each element has their own specific number of protons, it's just like their ID number for the element, they cannot be changed.

Neutrons are neutral, just like as it name says. Usually they have the same number as the protons in most elements, but not all cases. Sometimes an element may even have a few different forms, called Isotopes specifically, where they have different number of protons for each isotope.

And electrons, are negative in charge. They're a lot more lighter comparing to neutrons and protons, therefore sometimes we neglect their mass in calculating maths. In an atom, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons, or else, the atom would no longer be an atom, but an ion instead.

write 1 reason for why the pride be a positive trait, write 2 reason for why the pride be negative trait
Zina [86]
Pride can be a positive trait as it helps an individual gain confidence in their work and skills, making them more successful and happier. However, pride can be negative as it may cause one to believe they are entitled to their success, and also may cause them to treat others inferiorly. Hope this helps! :)

What general part of the general circulation would you find the "doldrums"?
lutik1710 [3]
I think the Belt of the inter-tropical convergence zone is the general part of the general circulation found on the doldrums. This is a belt of low pressure which circles the Earth generally near the equator where the trade winds of the Northern and southern Hemispheres converge. Mainly characterized by convective activity which generates often vigorous thunderstorms over large areas.
