That depends on what you look with. Light particles are not small enough to get an image of an atom. That would be trying to find out what a wrench looks like by throwing tennis balls at it and looking at the pattern made by their bouncing off and passing by. but if you use BB's (4 mm steel balls) then you could get a better idea.
X-Rays give us some better definition but still quite a hazy picture of individual atoms.
If we look at a crystal (many identical atoms neatly arranged) then X-Ray crystallography gives a good definition on the spatial relationships between atoms.
A uranium atom has a nucleus consisting of 92 protons and typically 143-146 neutrons, surrounded by electron shells. The nucleus is very small in comparison to the overall size of the atom. It does not have a visual appearance that can be observed with the naked eye due to its microscopic size.
At this point we have no clear "picture" of what an atom looks like. We can hypothesize what they look like through models. Hypothesize means to make a statement by using clues.
An atom has a nucleus. the nucleus is the center of the atom. An atom also has protons and neutrons at its center. Surrounding the protons and neutrons are electrons. Scientists at first thought electrons revolved around the nucleus. Now they say electrons are more like "clouds", because they stay in place. Like i said, they hypothesize.
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Since they are opposite charges they cancel each other out. Resulting in an electrical attraction bettween Protons and electrons. Like magnets. Neutrons are different. Neutrons are neither positive or negative. They have no charge: the word for it is neutral. Proton: + charge Electron: - charge Neutron: neutral (no charge)

An atom always has the same number of electrons and protons. if it doesn't have the same number then it is an ion of that atom.
Anyway, an atom also has shells. Imagine 3 circles inside of each other, each circle around the center. these circles are shells. Inside the shells are electrons. The first shell can hold as many as 2 electrons, the second shell can hold as many as 8 electrons and the third can hold 16 electrons.When thinking of shells, think of the map. The map of the planets orbitting the sun. The orbits are represented in circles with planets. It's the same thing with atoms. The nucleus is at the center-like the sun. The shells are like the orbits. The planets are like the electrons.
Well first of you don't have just an gas atom. There are lots of different atoms that can exist in an gas state. These are gasses like H2, Argon, Krypton, Neon, Cl2.. these all exist in a gas state at room temperature. These atoms have different amounts of protons and electrons where the electrons are different in their orientation in space. This last fact causes the atom or molecule to have different chemical and physical properties. So when you are talking about purely the atomic level you have an distribution of an certain amount of electrons, an certain amount of protons and an certain amount of neutrons that makes up the atom. How this truly looks on the atomic scale cannot be know, this is an physical law. This is due quantum mechanical effects that I won't bother you with. How I described that an gas atom looked like also accounts for the solid and the liquid states of matter. They don't look different on the inside of an atom. Only the bonds "outside" of an molecule/atom differ for gasses and liquids and solids.. that is the what we call physics..
Uranium is the heaviest atom listed.
Uranium atom has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
The symbol for uranium is U and the number of electrons in a neutral atom of uranium is 92.
If an atom of uranium loses a proton, it becomes an atom of an element with one less proton in its nucleus, known as an isotope of a different element. This change can alter the atomic number, mass number, and chemical properties of the atom.
Similar to all other chemical elements the uranium atom has protons, neutrons and electrons; uranium is also unstable and radioactive.
Uranium is the heaviest atom listed.
Uranium is an atom with 92 protons and 92 electrons. They number of neutrons may vary, depending on the isotope of uranium.
The uranium atom is electric neutral; uranium cations exist from 2+ to 6+.
What Does Aluminum atom look like
A neutral atom of uranium has 92 electrons. This is because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and an atom is neutral when the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of uranium.
Uranium atom has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
The uranium atom can be breakdown by nuclear reactions.
The symbol for uranium is U and the number of electrons in a neutral atom of uranium is 92.
The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
The symbol for uranium is U, and it has 92 electrons in its neutral atom.
Uranium neutral atom has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
The uranium atom has seven electron shells.
