Protons and neutrons have roughly the same mass, regardless of the element. Proton mass: 1.67262171(29)×10−27 kg Neutron mass: 1.67492729(28)×10−27 kg
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
Yes, neutrons are larger than protons.
Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.
atoms
No they're smaller than protons and electrons
The atomic number of an element is the number of protonsin its atom's nucleus. The mass number of an element is the number of nucleons (protons or neutrons) in its atom's nucleus. Except in the case of hydrogen, which has no neutrons, the mass number will always be higher.
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
When the atom gets bigger. Bigger atoms mean more protons in the nucleus. You can find out the number of protons by looking at a periodic table, it's the bottom number of each element. This is because the nucleus is positively charged (containing protons and neutrons) so the more protons there are, the more positively charged it will become.
Count protons. The proton count determines which element you have. Always. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and hydrogen is 1, helium is 2, lithium is 3, and so on. The neutron count can vary and will result in different isotopes of a given element. But the elemental identity of a given atom is based on the number of protons in the nucleus.
you use the mass number for the neutrons. you take away the atomic nomber from the mass number and the answer is the number of neutrons. for the electrons and the protons you just write the atomic number.
Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.
Neutrons are slightly bigger than protons, and have a neutral (or no) charge while protons have a positive charge.
