Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
What else can I help you with?
What is the proton for xenon?
A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom consists of a proton in its nucleus along with an electron orbiting around it. A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom and carries a positive charge. In comparison, a hydrogen atom is a neutral particle since it has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
What 2 parts of an atom have the same mass?
Proton and neutron have similar mass, but not identical.
What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?
No partial or complete atom has anywhere near 12,000 times the mass of a hydrogen atom. The mass of the hydrogen atom is 1 atomic mass unit (AMU), corresponding to the single proton in its nucleus. The largest, most massive atom that presently occurs naturally on Earth is that of Uranium. The heaviest form of Uranium has 238 protons and neutrons in its nucleus, for an atomic mass of around 238. All of these mass numbers correspond to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are largely ignored, for a few reasons: -- Electrons come and go, get added to and separated from atoms, rather easily. -- 1 proton or 1 neutron have as much mass as about 1,840 electrons, so a few electrons more or less doesn't make much difference in the mass of an atom. -- The most complex atom ... Uranium again ... normally has only about 92 electrons, which amounts to only about 5 percent of one proton or neutron, so they don't have much impact on an atomic mass of 238 .
What is a neutral particle in the nucleus of atom with the same mass as a proton?
Neutron
What two particles in an atom have approximatley the same mass?
Proton and neutron.
When a hydrogen atom loses its electron how do its density and weight change?
When a hydrogen atom loses its electron, its density remains the same because the mass of the electron is much smaller compared to the mass of the proton in the nucleus. However, the weight of the hydrogen atom decreases since weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object, which is determined by the mass of the object.
Is the mass of the electron the mass of the proton?
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
How is mass number and atomic number the same?
They are not. Atomic number is the total number of protons in an atom. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. The only isitope in which they are the same is Hydrogen-1 with 1 proton and no neutrons.
How many hydrogen atoms make up the same mass as one sodium atom?
To find the number of hydrogen atoms that make up the same mass as one sodium atom, you need to compare the atomic masses. A sodium atom has an atomic mass of 23 daltons, while a hydrogen atom has an atomic mass of 1 dalton. Therefore, 23 hydrogen atoms make up the same mass as one sodium atom.
