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.

What particle contributes to the atomic number?
Number of protons are taken. They are arranged by number of protons. Mendeleev arranged elements first according to atomic number
The neutral particle of an atom weighing approximately one atomic mass unit?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
A neutral atomic particle called a proton?
A neutral atomic particle is called a proton. This is taught in science.
What is the neutral subatomic particle?
In the atomic nucleus this particle is the neutron.
What neutrons are in an alpha particle?
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
What particle contributes to the atomic number?
Number of protons are taken. They are arranged by number of protons. Mendeleev arranged elements first according to atomic number
What is the atomic mass-?
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
Which atomic particle has an atomic mass of one amu but no net charge?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
An atomic particle that is positively charged?
This particle is the proton.
What is the negative subatomic particle in an atom is called?
Negatively charged sub-atomic particle: electron. Positively charged sub-atomic particle: proton. Neutrally charged sub-atomic particle: neutron.
The neutral particle of an atom weighing approximately one atomic mass unit?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
A neutral atomic particle called a proton?
A neutral atomic particle is called a proton. This is taught in science.
The Subatomic Particle That Has No Charge?
In the atomic nucleus this particle is the neutron.
What do you call the particle that orbits an atomic nucleus?
That particle is an electron.
What is a subatomic particle that is positively charged?
This particle from the atomic nucleus is the proton.
What is the neutral subatomic particle?
In the atomic nucleus this particle is the neutron.
