Hi does an electron by itself have a nucleus?
In the standard model an electron is a fundamental particle, so it has no internal structuresqljunkey said:Hi does an electron by itself have a nucleus?
An electron's nucleus is a small, dense core at the center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.
No, an electron does not have its own nucleus. It is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
The nucleus of an atom is responsible for providing the mass and stability of the atom. It also determines the chemical properties of an element.
An electron's nucleus is much smaller and contains much less mass compared to a proton's nucleus. Additionally, protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
No, an electron's nucleus cannot be separated from the rest of the atom. It is a fundamental part of the atom and cannot exist independently.
