Protons and neutrons have relatively equal masses. Electrons have a much smaller mass than the others.

A system of particles is composed of n freely moving particles Is the mass of this system equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particle?

Yes, the mass of the system is equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particles. The total mass of a system of particles is simply the sum of the masses of all the particles that constitute the system.


Which of the atomic particles have a mass of one atomic mass unit?

Both the proton and the neutron have a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit (amu). The proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and the neutron has a mass of 1.00867 amu.


What is the subatomic particles on which the atomic number is based?

Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.


What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?

Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.


How do you use atomic number and average atomic mass to calculate the number of each of the three subatomic particles?

The atomic number is the amount of protons which will equal the amount of electrons. The average atomic mass minus the number of protons will equal the amount of neutrons.


What is the number of subatomic particles of protons?

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of a chemical element.


What is the sum if the masses of the atoms present in the formula of an ionic compound?

The sum of the masses of the atoms in an ionic compound is equal to the formula mass of the compound. It is calculated by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms present in the formula unit.


What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.


10 kinds of isotopes and their application?

Different atoms of the same element possessing different atomic masses but having same atomic number are known as Isotopes. Since the isotopic atoms have the same atomic number, they must contain an equal number of protons. As their atomic masses are different, there must be a difference in the number of neutrons they possess. They will show similar chemical properties but their physical properties will be different due to different masses.


Do the designations hydrogen and neutron for the proton and neutron imply that these two praticles are of equal mass?

No, the designations of hydrogen for the proton and neutron for the neutron do not imply that these two particles are of equal mass. A proton is about 1836 times heavier than a neutron. The terms "hydrogen" and "neutron" were historically used to describe these particles based on their properties and roles in atomic structure, rather than their masses.


What can you say about inertia of object of equal masses?

Equal masses will have equal inertia.


What is the number of neutrons in a single atom of mendelevium?

The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic mass of an isotope minus the atomic number (or the protons number) of the element. The atomic number of mendelevium is 101 and Md has isotopes with atomic masses between 245 and 260.
