What subatomic particle has negligible mass and travels around outside the nucleus?
An electron particle
What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.
What particle contributes a negligible amount to the atomic mass?
There are a number of particles of particularly low mass. Electrons have much less mass than either protons or neutrons, and so are negligible in calculating the mass of an atom. However, electrons are still much heavier than neutrinos or photons, which are even more negligible in mass.
Elementary particle that carries a negative charge and almost no mass?
A electron is a subatomic particle outside the nucleus carrying a negative charge and very little mass. Other mass is negligible mass or a negative charge.
When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
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.
What subatomic particle has negligible mass and travels around outside the nucleus?
An electron particle
What are negatively charged subatomic particle with a negligible mass and which orbits the nucleus?
electron
Which subatomic particle has negligible mass and travels around outside the nucleus?
An electron.
What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.

What subatomic particle does not make a significant cintribution to the mass of an atom?
The electron - both neutrons and protons weigh one amu, but the mass of an electron is negligible.
Which subatomic particle can be described as having a relatively large mass?
Proton or neutron
Which particles account for most of the atoms mass?
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
Can a particle with negligible speed enter into earth's atmosphere?
Yes.
