is the electron neutrino the same type of particle that surrounds nuclei in atoms?

is it the same thing? or is the 'electron neutrino' a different particle that just has a smiliar name?

    Nuclei are surrounded by electrons. These are NOT the same as electron-neutrinos.

    The three neutrinos (electron neutrino, tau neutrino, muon neutrino) are associated with the particles they're named after (electron, tau, muon) but they aren't the same. That is, they show up in reactions involving their "partner particles".

    No.

    Electron neutrino is subatomic lepton particle, with no electric charge, unlike electron, which has negative charge.

    it incredibly is "d". The style of electrons the 2d significant power point has is 8. 2s(2), 2p(6) *The numbers in parentheses denote a superscript besides via fact the style of electrons allowable in the given suborbitals.
