Abstract

An atom's nucleus comprises neutrons and protons, which in turn are the appearance of more fundamental particles, called quarks, that are seized in a relationship by the strong nuclear force in certain stable arrangements of hadrons, called baryons. The strong nuclear force encompasses far enough from each baryon to drag the neutrons and protons together beside the repulsive electrical force between the positively charged protons. The present chapter deals with investigating and correlating key features of the nuclear structure and its properties as understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is one of the central challenges in nuclear physics. The line of understanding in this chapter is subjected to the structure of nuclei, atomic models, Rutherford model of the atom, nuclear composition, nuclear properties, determination of mass and determination of the charge.


Keywords: Charge, Mass, Nuclear Properties, Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Structure.
