An electron is much larger than an atom?
an electron is much much smaller than an atom. An electron is a portion of the nucleus in an atom.
What is larger a carbon atom or nucleus?
the nucleus is a very small object at the center inside an atom. the atom is much larger. this is true for all elements, not just carbon.
What is in an atom the atomic part relatively mass?
In an atom, the atomic part that has a relatively large mass is the nucleus. The nucleus is located at the center of the atom and consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The mass of the electrons, which orbit around the nucleus, is much smaller compared to that of the protons and neutrons.
Which part of the atom contains more than 99 percent of its mass?
The protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are responsible for the majority of the atom mass while the much smaller electrons orbit the nucleus.
What is the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of the entire atom?
The difference between the mass of the nucleus and the mass of the atom is virtually negligible.The atom is mainly empty space! The radius of the atom is ~10 000 times the radius of the nucleus.That means that the volume of the atom:volume of the nucleus = 1000 000 000 000:1 or= 1012:1Think about the volume of a grain of sand to the volume of a football stadium if the stadium was a complete three dimensional sphere type structure.
How much larger is the diameter of the entire atom compared to the diameter of its nucleus?
100,000 times.
How does the volume of a nucleus to the volume of an atom?
the volume of atom is much greater than that of nucleus
How does the volume of a nucleus compare to the volume of an atom?
the volume of atom is much greater than that of nucleus
How much of an atom volume does the nucleus make up?
how much of an atoms volume does the nucleus make up
Which atom is bigger barium or osmium?
The barium atom has a much bigger radius.
An electron is much larger than an atom?
an electron is much much smaller than an atom. An electron is a portion of the nucleus in an atom.
What is larger a carbon atom or nucleus?
the nucleus is a very small object at the center inside an atom. the atom is much larger. this is true for all elements, not just carbon.
How much bigger are baseball fields compared to softball fields?
not realy that much bigger
What is in an atom the atomic part relatively mass?
In an atom, the atomic part that has a relatively large mass is the nucleus. The nucleus is located at the center of the atom and consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The mass of the electrons, which orbit around the nucleus, is much smaller compared to that of the protons and neutrons.
Is the nucleus light or heavy?
The nucleus is pretty much light. But it contains the most mass of an atom.
Which part of the atom contains more than 99 percent of its mass?
The protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are responsible for the majority of the atom mass while the much smaller electrons orbit the nucleus.
How much charge does a neucleus have?
the nucleus of an atom has a positive charge equal to the number of protons in the atom.
