What else can I help you with?
How do you form a negatively charged atom?
Have more electons than protons in the atomic makeup.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
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.
Are neutrons smaller than protons?
no, they both have the same relative mass, this is why you add the number of protons and neutrons to get the mass number for the atom. The neutron is very slightly more massive than proton, by about the mass of an electron.
Which subatomic particles contribute the most to the mass of potassium?
The protons and neutrons contribute the most to the mass of potassium. Protons have a positive charge and determine the element's identity, while neutrons provide additional mass without affecting the charge. Electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
What are the relative atomic mass of subatomic particles in atom?
The relative atomic mass of electrons is considered negligible, as they are much lighter than protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons each have a relative atomic mass of approximately 1, as they are found in the nucleus of an atom and contribute to its overall mass.
Does a electron have a smaller mass than protons?
Absolutely; a proton weighs approximately 2000 times more than an electron.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
What has more mass hydrogen or helium?
Helium has more mass than hydrogen. Helium is composed of two protons and two neutrons, while hydrogen is a single proton.
Is the mass number equal to the number of protons and electrons?
No, it isn't. The mass of an electron is significantly smaller than that of a proton.The mass of 1,800 electrons is about the same as the mass of one single proton.The antiparticle of the electron, the positron, has the same mass as the electron.the mass of the electron is not the same to the mass of the proton
In subatomic particles do protons and neutrons have the same mass?
No, protons and neutrons do not have the same mass. Protons have a slightly smaller mass than neutrons. The difference in mass between the two particles is due to the different composition of quarks that make up each particle.
What has the smaller mass protons electrons or nutrons?
Electrons have the smallest mass compared to protons and neutrons. The mass of a proton is approximately 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron, and the mass of a neutron is slightly greater than that of a proton.
