One of the goals of physics research is to discover some of nature's limits—in this new effort, the researchers were looking to determine how many neutrons could be added to a nucleus before they stop sticking to one another, leading to dripping out. Such a limit is known as the dripli...

protons b. electron c. neutrons d. isotopes The ___ is the element's atomic number and determines the identity of the element. a. number of neutrons in the nucleus b. relative number of protons and electrons c. number of protons in t...
The atomic mass of the element is determined by the combined masses of neutrons and protons. True or false? Explain. What would happen if there wasn't enough strong force to hold the nucleus of an atom together? Also, what would hap...
