Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Protons and nutrons weight combine to give the mass of the atom. In most atoms, the amount of Neutrons is equivalent to the amount of Protons.

What subatomic particle has the lowest masses?

If you mean subatomic particle as in protons neutrons and electrons, electrons have the lowest mass. If you are talking even smaller, leptons have extremely tiny rest masses.


Subatomic particles are closest in mass?

Proton and neutron (components of the atomic nucleus) have masses very close.


Are electrons equal to newtrons?

No, electrons and neutrons are not equal. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, while neutrons are neutral subatomic particles found in the nucleus along with protons. Each plays a critical role in the structure and behavior of an atom.


What do neutrons and protons have in common?

Neutrons and protons are both subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They have similar masses and are both composed of smaller particles called quarks.


Why was the neutron the last subatomic particle to be discovered?

no electric charge. the nuclear theory at the time explained the atomic masses by assuming the nucleus contained a number of protons equal to the atomic mass number and enough electrons to cancel the charge beyond that of the atomic number of the element.


What is a particle chart?

A particle chart is a visual representation that displays the subatomic particles within an atom. It typically includes protons, neutrons, and electrons, along with their respective charges and relative masses. This chart helps to illustrate the composition of an atom and provides insights into its overall structure.

A particle in the nucleus of an atom it has a positive electrical charged and is 2000 times the mass of the electron?

proton there is no such thing as an electrical charged nut there is such a thing as a charged particle, that is also known as neutron


Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?

Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.


What statement bout subatomic particles is not true?

"All subatomic particles have the same mass" is not a true statement, as different subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, have different masses and charges.
