The particle that has the smallest mass in the world is a part of the subatomic particle. The electron in the subatomic particle has the smallest mass.

Does the moon have mass?

Yes. All objects have mass, because all objects contain matter. Mass is just a measure of how much matter is contained within an object. Therefore, any object, from the smallest speck of dust to giant stars, have mass.


Is hydrogen the smallest particle of an element?

An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.


Why is there a lower limit on the mass of a star?

A star must have at least a certain mass, the exact number depends on the star's composition, in order for gravity to be strong enough to sustain fusion of hydrogen-1 at the core. Bodies just under that mass are known as brown dwarfs, which have a mass somewhere between the largest gas giants and the smallest stars.


What is the smallest particle of an element called?

The smallest basic particle of an element is an atom. Atoms and molecules formed of them are the smallest particles that have the physical and chemical properties of the element. Atoms, however, are made of smaller particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, of which the electron is the smallest. There are various supplementary particles that connect or interact with them (e.g. mesons). These atomic particles are formed by the combination of constituent particles called quarks, which do not normally exist in uncombined forms (where, oddly, they would have much greater mass than the particles they constitute).


Determine the empirical formula for the following a compound made from 5.93 percent hydrogen by mass and 94.07 percent oxygen by mass with a total molar mass of 34.02 g?

Firstly divide percentages by molar mass of that elementH5.93/1.01=5.87O94.07/16=5.88Then divide the result of the first step by the smallest answerH5.87/5.87=1O5.88/5.87=1Empirical Formula is HOIf the molar mass is 34.02 we can divide this by our empirical formulas molar mass to get the molecular formula.so 34.02/(1.01+16)=34.02/17.01=2so the molecular formula is H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide)
