Question

One type of atomic particle that is found in the nucleus does not contribute to

Answer 1

Answer:

1) They are electrically neutral

2) They have slightly more weight than protons

Explanation:

The given atomic particle found in the nucleus has the following characteristics;

The location of the particle = The nucleus

The (numbers of the) particle does not contribute to (change) the atomic number of the element

The particles found within the nucleus of an atom are; Neutrons and protons

The particle within the nucleus that determines the atomic number = The number of protons

Therefore, the particle referenced in the question is the neutrons

The two characteristics of the neutron are;

1) The neutrons are neutral, electrically

2) Neutrons have slightly more weight than protons

3) Neutrons are magnetic

4) Neutrons are very small

5) Neutrons consist of three quarks; One 'Up', and two 'Down' quarks

Therefore, two characteristics of the particle are;

1) They are electrically neutral and 2) They are slightly heavier than protons.
