Which particle is the least massive a proton nuetron electron or nucleas?
electron is least, followed by proton and then neutron. Nucleus will have the highest mass as nucleus contains both protons and neutrons.
Particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom always contains at least 1 proton. It almost always contains at least 1 neutron as well.
Which has the least amount of mass a molecule an atom an electron a neutron a proton?
The mass of an electron is the least among the options given here.
Can just the protons be the nucleus?
In the case of a normal hydrogen atom the nucleus is only one proton, there are no neutrons. However, every other atom and molecule (apart from H2) has at least one neutron in the nucleus.
Which part of the atom is found in the center of the atom and has no electric charge?
A neutron has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.Alternate wording to an inexact question:If you are referring to the nucleus of an atom, there must always be at least one proton. So there has to always be a positive charge. The other component, the neutron, has no charge. The electrons orbiting the nucleus have the negative charge. So if no electrical charge is found in the nucleus, it is not an atom and therefore not a nucleus.
Make up of an atom?
An atom is made up of three parts. The protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the center of the atom called the nucleus. The electrons float around the atom in what is called orbitals.
Why does hydrogen need at least one proton in it's nucleus?
It is very simple. The hydrogen atom is composed of a nucleus with only one proton and an electron around the nucleus.
Which has least mass neutron protron electron or nucleus?
Well, that's kinda a trick question because an electron is pure energy. An electron particle is also the smallest of the 4, so its the electron (eventhough an electron is a weichtless particle such as a graviton or magneton! Hope I helped!!
Of the three main subatomic particles the has the least mass?
The three main subatomic particles are the proton, neutron, and electron. Of these three, the electron has the least amount of mass at about 0.0005 amu or Atomic Mass units.
Are there protons in atoms?
atom can not exists without protons. At least one proton is necessary to form an atom. For example hydrogen atom. It does not contain neutron. All other atoms has got neutrons also in the nucleus.
Why does every element except hydrogen need at least one neutron in its neucleus?
Every element except hydrogen needs at least one neutron in its nucleus because it needs attractive force from the strong nuclear interaction to counter the electrostatic repulsion between the protons.
What particles the one with the least mass is the electron proton neutron or neutrino?
Neutrinos, but their mass is very, very small.
