What particles account for most of the space of the atom?

Protons and neutrons


The particles in the center of an atom are?

Protons and neutrons lie in the atom's nucleus, accounting for almost 100% of the atom's weight. The center of an atom is called it's nucleus.


Which particles account for almost all the mass of an atom?

Neutrons and protons.


What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?

Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.


What two particles each account for half of the mass of the atom?

Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Alpha Particles, any of those.... just guessing (:


Which particles account for most of the atoms mass?

Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass


Which two particles make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom?

The proton and the neutron make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom.


What particles are at the center of an atom?

Atoms contain three different sub-atomic particles. Protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, particles with a neutral charge are found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, particles that have negative charge.


What particle or particles carry virtually all the mass (weight) of any atom?

Virtually all of the mass of an atom is carried by the proton and the neutron. The electron has very, very little mass relative to these two particles.


Which particles account for the difference between the atomic number and the mass number?

The answer is that it is neutrons that account for the difference between atomic weight and atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom, since they are normally equal. The atomic weightis the sum of the total number of protons, electrons AND neutrons in the atom. Knowing both the atomic number and the atomic weight of an atom lets you know the number of neutrons in the atom (the isotope). Example: Uranium, Atomic Number 92, Atomic Weight 235. The atomic number tell you that the uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons. The atomic weight tells you that it has a combined total of 235 protons, electrons and neutrons. Since you know from the atomic number that there is a total of 184 protons and electrons in the atom (92 + 92) and from the atomic weight that the total number of protons, electons and neutrons is 235 (92 + 92 + X = 235), you now know that there are 151 neutrons in that uranium atom. The atomic number and atomic weight together tell you that the uranium atom 235 has 92 protons, 92 electons and 151 neutrons.


Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?

In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.


What are the names of the particles in the atom?

The 3 Particles in a atom are * Proton * Neutron * Electron
