Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following particles is not a constituent of the nucleus?
  • Step 1: Understand what a nucleus is. The nucleus is the center part of an atom.
  • Step 2: Identify the particles that make up the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
  • Step 3: Learn about electrons. Electrons are particles that orbit around the nucleus, not inside it.
  • Step 4: Compare the particles. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, while electrons are outside.
  • Step 5: Conclude which particle is not a part of the nucleus. Since electrons orbit around the nucleus, they are not constituents of it.
