Do electrons have any mass?
Yes, electrons have a mass, as everything has mass. However, an electron's mass is so small that it is considered to be 0.
Do caterpillars eat cats?
Some cats will indeed eat bugs if they come across them, but such prey is so small they barely provide the cat with any nourishment.
Why was Mercury unable to retain an atmosphere during its formation?
Mercury is unable to retain an atmosphere because of its tiny mass. It is mass is barely 5.5% of Earth's so it cannot sustain an atmosphere.
What objects can be measured in killograms?
Any object with a mass can be measured with kilograms. So, if you want to find the mass of something, you can use kilograms. Or grams if it is small.
Is zero gravity the correct term?
No. An object that has any mass consequently exerts some gravity. However, with relatively small objects, the gravitational force is so small that it does not have any practical effect.
Is all of the mass in an atom in the nucleas?
The mass of an atom is mostly in the nucleus. Though electrons that orbit the nucleus also have mass, their masses are so small (each electron is 1/1823th the mass of a proton), the mass of any atom would be 99.9% in the nucleus.
Does planet mercury have any tornadoes or anything like that?
No, Mercury barely has an atmosphere and so it does not have any weather to speak of.
What subatomic particle has a mass that is so small it's not counted in the atomic mass of that element?
Electron
What is the mass of an atom concentrated on?
virtually all the mass in concentrated in the nucleus of the atom, as the electron's mass is so small, it is negligible.
Why atomic mass is called relative atomic mass?
Atomic mass is so small you can't actually measure it. So, just like carbon dating, you have to use a relative mass.
Are some 1942 mercury dimes with errors barely visible because of a weak strike?
sorry but there wasn't any weak dies known. I have a 1942 Mercury dime and it has faded letters because the print was so small.
Which subatomic particles have a mass so small it typically is ignored?
Electron
