What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
What are three subatomic paarticles in an atom?
Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.
What is the mass of an electron compared to the mass of a proton or neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How does the mass of a proton compare to the mass of a neutron and an electron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How does the mass of a electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
Is the charge of electron equal but opposite to the charge of neutron?
A neutron has no charge. That's why it is called a neutron; the neu part stands for neutral, meaning without charge. The charge of an electron, which is -1, is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
What subatomic particles are closest in mass proton and neutron neutron and electron proton and electron electron and ion?
Mg+2 and Br-1
What is the size of electron proton and neutron?
The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.
Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?
The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.
