What makes up the weight an atom or molecule?
The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
What makes up the atomic weight of an atom?
The total weight of the protons and the neutrons.
How do you get the atomic number and weight?
No. of protons=No. of electrons = Atomic number. No. of protons + No. of neutrons = Atomic mass.
What is equal to the number of protons and electrons?
Molecular weight.
Atomic weight is equal to the?
Atomic weight/ mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
What makes up the weight an atom or molecule?
The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
What is chemical atomic weight?
Atomic weight = Weight of protons + Weight of neutrons
Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?
As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.
Does the number of protons in an atom of an element always equal its atomic weight?
atomic weight = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
How can you find out the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
By the process of elimination. For example, The atomic weight of an atom is just the number of its protons, and the atomic mass is the total weight of protons and neutrons in the atom. So, the atomic weight of Oxygen is 8(protons) and the atomic mass is 16(protons + neutrons) so we can tell that there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
Is the atomic weight the same as the atomic number?
No, the atomic number is the number of protons that an atom contains. Atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons.
What subatomic particles are almost the same weight?
Protons and neutrons are about the same weight. Electrons are far lighter than either protons or electrons.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
What gives an element its atomic weight?
no. of protons
How do you get the atomic number and weight?
No. of protons=No. of electrons = Atomic number. No. of protons + No. of neutrons = Atomic mass.
What makes up the atomic weight of an atom?
The total weight of the protons and the neutrons.
