Does an electron have a mass greater than a proton?
an electron has way less mass than a proton.
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
How many times is the electron larger than an proton?
I believe it is reversed with a electron being smaller its mass is 1/1840 or 0.05% of a proton's. In fact the mass is so small we ignore it in calculation in stiochiometry. See here: http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-72615.html
Is the electron the largest of the three main atomic particles?
The electron is the smallest of the three main atomic particles by a long way. The proton and neutron are of a similar size, with the neutron having (very) slightly more mass. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of a proton or electron.
Is a protons charge negative or positive?
A proton is positively charged. Think of it this way: P for proton, p for positive.
What is the correct way to list these particles based on increasing mass proton electron and alpha particle?
The correct order of the particles based on increasing mass is electron, proton, alpha particle. Electrons are the lightest of the three, followed by protons, and then alpha particles, which consist of two protons and two neutrons and are relatively heavier.
When a radioactive isotope emits a its atomic number increases?
When a radioactive isotope emits a beta particle (high-energy electron), a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton. This causes the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one because a proton has a positive charge and changes a neutron to a proton increases the atomic number.
How does an electron that was transferred to the shell of another atom stay there without another proton in the nucleus attracting it?
A common misconception is that proton 1 in the nucleus attracts electron 1 in the orbitals, proton 2 attracts electron 2, etc. This is very, very wrong: every proton attracts every electron all at once. Further electrons, as in beyond the neutral charge, are attracted in the same way as all other electrons, and held subject to a) repulsion and shielding from other electrons and b) remaing gaps in orbitals to fit them.
Which of the three particles in an atom is positively charged?
Among the three basic building blocks of atoms (i.e., protons, neutrons, and electrons), the protons carry a positive charge.
What is the weight of a proton?
A proton weighs approx. 1 Atomic Mass Unit (A.M.U). this weight is the same as a Neutron, but an electron weighs about 1/2000 of an A.M.U. Hope this helps!
During beta decay the following change will occur in the nucleus?
The beta decay changes the color and texture. The new element that forms is clyropediatica. When clyropediatica forms it leaves behind an odor and is not as light as helium. Also, it is stronger than the metatarcels in the pyroclastic flow when it is over run by the elcaburn.
Can a proton decay?
If a proton dies then that mean's everything in the entire universe will be destroyed but it will take an extremely long amount of time. But nobody can prove if a proton has died because there are so many of them, you simply cannot keep track of the amount of them. In theory a proton is stable.
