What else can I help you with?
If there is no neutron or proton what is the most massive part of an atom?
the anti-proton
What best describes the nucleus of an atom?
It’s the most massive part of the atom
Where is the massive part located in an atom?
in the center. Its called a Nucleus. It controlls the atom
What particle in the atom is the least massive?
least - electron most - the top quark
What is the neutral part of an atom that gives the atom more mass?
Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.
What part of an atom takes up most of its space?
The most space of an atom is vacuum.
What part of an atom do you find protons?
There are two main parts of an atom. The one that contains the most mass is the nucleus, which holds all of the protons and neutrons in a ball at the center of the atom. The second part is the cloud of electrons that orbit the nucleus. So, protons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Protons are so much more massive than electrons that you can neglect the mass of electrons when determining the mass of an atom?
Atomic mass is based on the proton and neutron. For the most part the mass of an electron is infinitesimally small.
What part of the atom does the word nuclear refer to?
A concept or model of the atom characterised by the presence of a small, massive nucleus at its centre.
Most of the mass of an atom is found in which part of it?
In the nucleus.
Is the electron cloud the most massive part of the atom?
No, it is not. Almost all of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus. The proton, that carrier of the positive electrical charge, is some 1836 times more massive that the negatively charged electron that it attracts to "build" an atom. If we take a look, we'll find that in a simple hydrogen-1 atom, a single proton is in the nucleus and a lone electron makes up the electron cloud. And the nucleus is about 1836 times more massive than the "rest" of the atom. In a helium-4 atom, two protons and two neutrons form the nucleus and a pair of electrons form the electron cloud. In this case, the nucleus is about 7,444 times as massive as the electrons. As we move up the periodic table, the figure gets even more lopsided.
What is a positively central part of an atom?
In the nucleus of an atom, the positively charged particles are called Protons.
