Protons, neutrons and electrons
The particle is called the "Quark"
Protons, neutrons and electrons
nuclei
Which particle? The electron.
The proton.
The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
neutron
When a beta particle is released, the atom's mass remains approximately the same because it loses an electron, which has such a small mass in comparison to the whole atom that it is negligible.
The Electron.
Mass of electron is not included for the calculation of mass of an atom.
The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom.
