Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Protons and nutrons weight combine to give the mass of the atom. In most atoms, the amount of Neutrons is equivalent to the amount of Protons.

What are the masses of each subatomic particle?
protons and neutrons are about 1 amu
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.
Subatomic particles are closest in mass?
Proton and neutron (components of the atomic nucleus) have masses very close.
Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?
Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
How is the mass defect determined?
The mass of a nucleus is subtracted from the sum of the masses of its individual components.
A particle in the nucleus of an atom it has a positive electrical charged and is 2000 times the mass of the electron?
proton there is no such thing as an electrical charged nut there is such a thing as a charged particle, that is also known as neutron
Why was the neutron the last subatomic particle to be discovered?
no electric charge. the nuclear theory at the time explained the atomic masses by assuming the nucleus contained a number of protons equal to the atomic mass number and enough electrons to cancel the charge beyond that of the atomic number of the element.
Which of the masses is the largest?
an alpha particle
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?
You may be referring to neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutron is heavier than the proton, but the difference is more like two electrons than one.
The mass and charge of each subatomic particles and the nucleus?
Subatomic particles are measured in AMU.1 Proton = 1 AMU (Positive Charge [think pro])1 Neutron = 1 AMU (No Charge [think NEUtral])1 Electron = 1/1836 AMU (Negative Charge)
What is the subatomic mass of proton and neutron and electron and a nucleus?
From Wikipedia, masses as follows: proton = 1.6726 x 10 to the -27 kg neutron = 1.6749 x 10 to the -27 kg. electron = mass of proton/1836.
