What is the mass of an atom mainly determined by?
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in a normal atom?
They are equal
How many protons and electrons are in phosphorus?
15 electrons and 15 protons
How does the atomic number of an element compare with the number of electrons that normally surround the nucleus?
If the atom is atomically neutral (meaning that it does not hold a charge and it's not a cation or an anion), then the number of electrons and protons in an atom will be the same. If they do hold a charge (say if it is an anion), then it would have an extra electron. If it was positively charged, then an electron would be lost.
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, neutrons, and electrons.
How do the masses of the protons and the neutrons compare to the mass of the electrons?
If we give them relative numbers, the proton has a mass of 1.0073, the neutron has 1.0087 and the electron has 5.486 X 10 to negative 4.
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
What is the mass of an atom mainly determined by?
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in a normal atom?
They are equal
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in normal atom?
They are equal
Do electrons have substantial mass?
The answer depends on what you compare them with. Compared to protons, they do not.
How do the masses of one electron compare to the masses of protons and neutrons?
mass of electron = 1/1836 mass of proton (or neutron)
Atomic masses of any two elements contain the same number of?
Protons and electrons
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
Why don27t elements in the periodic table have whole numbers for their atomic masses?
Because the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons are not whole numbers.
What subatomic particle has the lowest masses?
If you mean subatomic particle as in protons neutrons and electrons, electrons have the lowest mass. If you are talking even smaller, leptons have extremely tiny rest masses.
All of the mass of an atom is due to the?
The mass of an atom is the sum of the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
