Composition of nucleus in nuclear chemistry
Answers
Nucleus
Nucleus is found to be a source of tremendous amount of energy, which has been utilised for the destructive as well as constructive purposes. Hence the study of nucleus of an atom has become so important that it is given a separate branch of chemistry under the heading of nuclear chemistry. According to an earlier hypothesis, the nucleus is considered as being composed of two building blocks, proton’s and neutron’s, which are collectively called nucleons.
Answer: nucleus consist of protons and neutrons
Explanation:
➡Nucleus is a region where the mass of an atom is concentrated
➡Protons : they are positively charged particles having mass=1.6726×10* -27 kg and charge = 1.6×10*-19
➡ Neutrons : they are neutral particles having mass =1.674×10*-27 kg
➡Protons and neutrons are together called as nucleons
