What else can I help you with?
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass
How can there be 1 proton with a hydrogen atom with a mass?
Though a hydrogen atom typically has one proton, its mass is not solely determined by the proton. The mass of a hydrogen atom comes from the combination of the proton and an electron. The electron contributes a much smaller amount to the overall mass compared to the proton.
What is the mass of a proton in an atom?
1.007316 (amu)
What is the mass number of atom equal to?
proton
Where is most of the mass of an atom contain?
in the nucleus of an atom -proton and neutrons , electrons in the orbit has the negligible mass.
What particle that determines the mass of the atom along with the proton is the?
The particle that, along with the proton, determines the mass of the atom is the neutron. Neutrons, along with protons, reside in the atomic nucleus and contribute significantly to the overall mass of an atom. While electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons, the mass of an atom is primarily derived from the combined mass of these nucleons.
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
What type of particle has an atomic number of 1 and a mass number of 1?
Of the common sub-atomic particles, both the proton and the neutron have mass numbers of 1.
What 2 parts of an atom have the same mass?
Proton and neutron have similar mass, but not identical.
What would an atom become if it gained a proton?
That would depend what the atom was to begin with. Adding a proton would increase the atoms atomic number by one, making it an atom of the next element on the periodic table. It would also increase the atomic mass, however the over all atomic mass of the resulting mass would probably not be equal to the most common mass of the new element, making it an isotope of the new element. If it did not also gain an electron, it would now have one more proton than electron, making it a positive ion. Adding a proton to an atom is called nuclear fusion, since it fuses two atomic nuclei together (the original atom and the proton, which is equivalent to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom.)
As we know that 1amu not equal to mass of 1 proton then why protium is equal to 1amu?
The atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom. It is a unit of mass that is used to describe the masses of atoms and molecules. The mass of a proton is actually slightly less than the mass of a carbon-12 atom, so it is not equal to 1 amu. However, the mass of a protium atom (which is an atom that consists of a single proton and no neutrons) is very close to 1 amu. This is because the mass of the proton makes up most of the mass of a protium atom. Therefore, protium is often said to be "approximately equal" to 1 amu.
Why do electrons not count when you talk about the mass of the atom?
atomic mass means he weight of atom so electron is lighter than proton and neutron thats why it not count in mass of atom
