What 2 parts of an atom have the same mass?

Proton and neutron have similar mass, but not identical.


What is 1 proton 2 neutrons?

<P>proton + neutrons give you a nucleon. the nuceon(or protons +neutron) give you the overall mass of the atom. the mass of electrons is not included, i dont even think that it has mass at all. Hope you're answered?</P>


What is the mass number of a helium atom that has 2 protons and 2 neutrons?

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 4 - 2 = 2 neutrons


The mass of a neutron is nearly equal to the mass of what other subatomic particle?

No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons. Therefore, an alpha particle has approximately 4 times the mass of a proton or neutron.No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons.
