What is the number of protons an atom has?
most of the time there are two but if you have a positively charged atom there are just more protons than electrons or neutrons MASS IS ALWAYS PROTONS PLUS NUETRONS SO IF YOU KNOW THE MASS # AND THE NUETRON # AND SUBTRACT NUETRONS FROM MASS YOU GET THE PROTON # ALSO THE PROTON # = TO THE ELECTRON # AND THE ATOMIC #
Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
Are electrons larger than protrons?
No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.
Does Anions have more protons than electrons?
anions have more electrons than protons
What makes an element more massive?
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines its mass. Elements with more protons and neutrons are more massive. Additionally, the mass of an element can be influenced by the presence of isotopes, which have varying numbers of neutrons.
What is the difference between electrons and protons?
Electrons are negatively charged particles found in the electron cloud of an atom, while protons are positively charged particles located in the nucleus. Protons are about 1,836 times more massive than electrons.
What parts of an atom are equal to each other?
It depends on what you mean by what parts are equal. Protons and electrons both have the same magnitude of charge with opposite signs and electrons are much less massive than protons. Protons and neutrons are approximately equal in mass but protons have a charge of +e Coulombs while neutrons have a charge of 0. Atoms can often exist with unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Such atoms are called ions and have a negative charge if they have more electrons than protons and positive charge if they have more protons than electrons.
Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
Why there a decrease of the atomic size from left to right of the periodic table as the no of proton are added one by one?
The protons are positively charged, so they attract the negatively charged electrons. Also, protons are about 2000 times more massive than electrons, so as the number of protons increases, the attraction they have for electrons increases.
An atom that has more nuetrons that protons?
If you are thinking of isotopes, which are naturally occurring atomic structures that vary in the number of neutrons atom to atom. ex Carbon 12 13 14. But otherwise lots of atomic structures contain more neutrons than protons or electrons. Uranium for example 92 protons 146 neutrons
How do the masses of electrons compare with the masses of protons?
The mass of a proton is 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron.
