NU-CLE-US (SINGULAR)

SHUSH & LISTEN~

DEFINITION
A central or essential part around
which other parts are gathered or
grouped; a core.
(taken from dictionary)
As stated, a nucleus is a core. In
the Physics context, it is the core
of an atom.
TELL ME MORE!
 Nucleuscontains particles known as
protons(+) and neutrons(0).

 Because it contains the most weight of the

atom, it is said that a nucleus is extremely
dense.

 Thenucleus may or may not be stable,

depending on the arrangement of particles
within itself.

 A particle known as Electrons orbits round the

nucleus.

neu·tron
DEFINITION

an elementary particle with 0 charge and

mass about equal to a proton; enters into
the structure of the atomic nucleus

(taken from thesaurus)

 So,as stated by the thesaurus, a neutron is an
electrically neutral particle found in the nucleus
of an atom.

 A neutroncan be seen as a proton an and

electron smashed together,and as stated in a site,

 ‘’Because both of these particles have opposite

charge of the same magnitude, their fusion
results in a chargeless particle.’’

 Neutral,thus the name Neutr-on.

TELL ME MORE~
A neutron is a subatomic particle in the baryon family.

 It has a mass 1,839 times that of the electron.

 As a free particle a neutron’s mean lifetime is approximately

1.0 × 103 seconds.

 Excess neutrons would be converted into protons through beta

decay(if it’s radioactive atoms)

 the neutron is a magnet and is very sensitive to the magnetism

inside materials.

 neutron can also see light atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon
