      Nuclear size is defined by nuclear radius; nuclear density can be calculated from nuclear size.

All atoms except hydrogen can also contain one or more neutrons in the nucleus. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus. The number of protons defines an element (hydrogen has one proton, helium has two, and so on) of the atom. Nuclei with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are different isotopes of the same element.

      What is inside the nucleus? Why are some nuclei stable while others decay?  Why are there different types of decay ( α , β and γ )? Why are nuclear decay energies so large?

Pursuing natural questions like these has led to far more fundamental discoveries than you might imagine.

      Atoms contain negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons; the number of each determines the atom’s net charge.

      Modern scientific usage denotes the atom as composed of constituent particles: the electron, the proton and the neutron.

The heart of a comet is its nucleus, a few kilometers in diameter and composed of volatiles and solids. Whipple first suggested this “dirty snowball” model in 1950; it has been confirmed by spacecraft studies of several comets. As the nucleus approaches the Sun, its volatiles evaporate (perhaps in localized jets or explosions) to form the comet’s head or atmosphere.
