When a pair of neutrons come together, you might not get much action. They may "collide" and scatter, but their neutral charge precludes much else. There is no "attracton" between them save the miniscule force of gravity. The literature does not speak to the n-n pair much except as a possibility suggested by Linus Pauling in the 60's. As the neutron is uncharged, there is no way to hold a pair together. Additionally, isospin constraints may actually prevent their getting together in the first place. It might be possible to do something odd. If we could get a pair of neutrons to fuse under certain circumstances, we might then get a beta decay to occur to change one of the neutrons into a proton, yielding deuterium, a heavy hydrogen nucleus. But that idea is straight out of dreamland. Proposals regarding n-n pairs still float in theoretical physics forums and the like, however, but they are almost universally coupled to discussion of a possible resonance state of an isotope where the pair exist as a neucleon cluster.
When separated nucleons come together to form a nucleus, the strong nuclear force causes them to be attracted to each other, overcoming the repulsive electromagnetic force between protons. As nucleons get closer, the strong nuclear force holds them together in a stable arrangement, forming a nucleus with a specific number of protons and neutrons. This process releases energy, binding the nucleons together.
neutrons an electrons never meet, neutrons stay inside the neucleus and electrons stay outside, the main purpose of the neutrons is to create the strong force the electrons are there to take part in "bonding" and tradeing to create new atoms (when multiple atoms come together to make completely new atoms its called a neuclear reaction)

Neutrons don't split. They do change, however, into protons during beta- decay. Conversely, protons change into neutrons by beta+ decay.

What kind of change occurs when sulfur and sodium chloride are separated?
Physical change occurs when sulfur and sodium chloride are separated. This is because their chemical compositions remain the same, but their physical states are altered when they are no longer combined.
Force that affects all particles in a nucleus and acts only over a short range?
The strong nuclear force is the force that affects all particles in a nucleus and acts only over a short range. It is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus despite their mutual repulsion due to electromagnetic forces.
If separated table salt physically into the smallest possible particles what type of particles would be obtain?
If table salt were separated into the smallest possible particles, it would yield sodium and chloride ions. This breakdown occurs through the process of dissociation, which means that the ionic bond holding the sodium and chloride ions together is broken, resulting in individual ions.
Why does lithium change to beryllium if you add a proton?
Adding a proton to a lithium nucleus transforms it into a beryllium nucleus by increasing its atomic number. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus defines the element, and adding a proton changes the element to the one with the next highest atomic number.
What type of reaction occurs in an atomic bomb?
A nuclear fission reaction occurs in an atomic bomb. This is when the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
What kind of change occurs when a compond is separated into its components?
A chemical change occurs because compound is two elements put together so when they are separated it forms a new substance.
Where in the cell transcription occurs?
It occurs in the nucleus of the cell.
Why is protein synthesis different in prokatyke and euroaytes?
Prokaryotes do not have a distinct nucleus, so transcription and translation both occur in the cytoplasm simultaneously. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus while translation occurs in the cytoplasm, separated by nuclear envelope. Furthermore, eukaryotes have additional complexity due to post-transcriptional modifications and protein processing that prokaryotes lack.
How does a nucleus change when beta decay of the nucleus occurs?
The atomic number increases by one unit when a beta decay occurs.
Which part of the cell cycle is taking place when the cytoplasm of the cell is separated?
Cytokinesis is the phase of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasm of the cell is separated, resulting in two daughter cells. This process occurs after mitosis, which is when the nucleus divides, marking the end of the cell division process.
In the nucleus of what element does the nucleon have the least mass?
It is in the atoms of iron that the nucleons have the least mass. Nucleons in iron have the highest binding energy per nucleon of any element. Want to know what the relationship is? Good. Let's review.The nucleons of an atom are the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of that atom. Neutrons have a mass of about 1.67 x 10-27 kg, and protons are slightly lighter than neutrons. But when protons and neutrons are fused together to form atomic nuclei (like in fusion reactions in stars), some of the mass of each nucleon is converted into binding energy or nuclear glue. It might be preferable to say that residual strong force is what holds atomic nuclei together. In any case, the "drop in mass" associated with the conversion of that mass to binding energy is called mass deficit. There are a number of complexities involved in nuclear formation, and when we look at different elements, there are different binding energies set up (during fusion) to keep the different nuclei together. Let's look in on that just a bit by taking a couple of examples.In helium (He-4), two protons and two neutrons are bound together in the nucleus. Each of the nucleons has "donated" some mass, which mediation by the strong interaction changed into nuclear glue. Each nucleon could be said to have donated mHe to allow the nucleus to stay together. In oxygen (O-16) however, each nucleon donated mO to the process creating binding energy for the oxygen nucleus. The nucleons in oxygen donated more of their mass, and these nucleons end up with less mass per nucleon than the nucleons in helium. See how that works? But there's a catch. There always is, isn't there?When we look at the amount of mass deficit a nucleon undergoes in different elements as we move up the periodic table, we see that an increasing amount of the mass of nucleons is converted into binding energy, as you might have guessed. But that all stops at iron. Iron nuclei are the most tightly bound nuclei of all the elements. As we move on up the periodic table from there, we see a decreasing amount of mass deficit in each nucleon of atomic nuclei. And that's the way it is. Completely explaining why this occurs would fill a semester of college physics. Use the link below to see the graph of binding energy per nucleon across the elements. (Note that iron sits at the peak.)
Is nucleus is a organisim?
No. The nucleus is an organelle that occurs in the cells of eukaryotic organisms.
Where does transcription occur in the cell?
It is in the nucleus.
Does transcription occur in the nucleus or at the nucleoid?
Transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, where DNA is transcribed into RNA. In prokaryotic cells, transcription occurs at the nucleoid, which is the region where the genetic material is located.
In which organelle is DNA kept and RNA transcript?
DNA is kept in the nucleus, while RNA transcription occurs in the nucleus before the mRNA moves to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for translation.
In the eukaryotic cell where does DNA replication occur?
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. This process involves the synthesis of a new DNA strand complementary to the original DNA template.
Where does the transcription process of DNA ocur?
it occurs in the nucleus
