The number of electron orbitals is where the volume of matter comes from. The more electrons and orbitals, the more volume.

The mass comes from the protons and neutrons.

What fills the space between Neutrons and electrons?

There is nothing that fills the space between neutrons and electrons. There may be a couple of other particles, but they do not come close to filling the space.


What does dinamics mean in music?

The volume in music, come on you could have looked this one up for yourself.


Where do the electrons come from in proton proton chain reaction if hydrogen has only a proton in its atom?

when the 2 Hydrogen nuclei fuse, one of the protons is changed to a neutron via beta + decay, this produces an atom of Deuterium, a positron (beta + particle) and a neutrino. This positron will only travel a short distance before contacting an electron and annihilating each other to convert their masses and kinetic energies into the energy of the photons. The electron is most probably a free electron, as the high temperatures involved in Nuclear fusion would have provided enough energy to ionise electrons from their parent atom.


Why do you only sketch the valence electrons in the electron dot diagram?

valence electrons are the parts of an element that will attach to another element, but only if they reach a certain point. nothing else is a factor. the only other thing added is polarization, which affects how the shape of an atom will come out


What is the difference between terrigenous sediments and biogenous sediments?

Terrigenous sediments come from the earth "Terri" means land or earth in greek "genous" means origin. Biogenous sediments come from organic matter.

Which came first atoms or electrons?

Of the two, electrons. (Protons had to form, perhaps from quarks, before the first atoms could form and the temperature had to be cool enough for protons and electrons to come together to form hydrogen.)


Small piece of matter?

A small piece of matter is known as a particle, which can be as tiny as an atom or subatomic particle. These particles are the building blocks of all matter and come in various forms such as protons, electrons, and neutrons. Understanding the behavior and interactions of these particles is fundamental to fields like physics and chemistry.


What is protons neutrons and electrons called?

Subatomic particles or, when they all come together, an atom.


Which chemical properties of matter come mostly from what?

Electrons


Does the weight of matter come mostly from protons or electrons?

electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilogramsproton mass = 1.67262158 × 10-27 kilogramsProton is a factor of 10^4 times the mass of an electron.


Does a neutral atom have the same protons and electrons?

Not necessarily. The number of protons must always equal the number of electrons in a neutral atom, but the neutron number can vary, depending on the isotope of the element in question. This is because the neutron carries zero charge, so it des not matter if there is a different number of neutrons.


How many protons neutron and electrons are in a carbon isootope?

Do not come to WikiAnswers to have your homework done for you. The number of protons and electrons can be found by the atomic number and the number of neutrons is a function of the atomic weight minus the atomic number.


2 Where are the different subatomic particles located in the atom?

TWO types of subatomic particles?? Gosh, the basics are the electrons, neutrons, and protons. Then you add muons, gluons, 6 quarks and so on, and you come up with many particles. And that's just for matter. If you consider anti-matter, you have positrons, anti-protons, anti neutrons, etc etc etc.


What statement is true about atoms protons neutrons and electrons?

Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.


How many electrons does iron atom have?

A neutral iron atom has 26 electrons. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei, which is why their atomic atomic number is 26. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, so a neutral iron atom has 26 protons and 26 electrons.


Is all matter made up of protons?

All types of matter are made of at least one of the following, and are put together different ways by force carriers ( photons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, gravitons) these are the basic particles: leptons and quarks. leptons include 3 different types, one of them being electrons. all three types have an opposite. the electron's opposite is a neutrino. quarks come in 6 different types that are up, down, charmed, strange, top or bottomture


Are protons neutrons and electrons atoms?

No they are not in the same way that arms and legs are not people.Protons, neutrons and electrons can come together in some specific numbers form atoms (or molecules). You can also have electrons by themselves. Normally you will not find isolated neutrons and protons. Alpha particles are 2 protons+2 neutrons which are found in radioactive decay.
