An atom's mass is located entirely in the nucleus. In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus, but because the mass of an electron is so insignificantly small, it's not counted when determining the total mass.

How many atoms in PVC?
We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. PVC is not single atom. We cant give it a atomic number.
Why is the atomic number important to the atom?
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom. Hydrogen is the first element on the Periodic Table of Elements because it only has one proton. The number of protons in an atom and the number of neutrons in an atom are what make atoms different.
How many atoms make 1 molecule?
It takes two atoms to substanciate the atomic substance. ie. One atom does not equal the element. Molecules, on the other hand, are made up of numerous atoms depending on their atomic structure. Be warned: I am not a physicist or a chemist.
How are atoms and elements relate?
How are elements and atoms related? An element is a substance that contains only a single type of atom. The number of atoms is not important as long as all the atoms are of the same type. You cannot separate an element into other substances..... there are as many elements as atoms - more them 100.
What Jumps from atoms to atom make electricity?
electrons

What two parts of the atom make up the atomic weight of the atom?
The protons and the neutrons.
What atoms make up the element carbon?
1 atom make up the element carbon.It has atomic number 6.
Why is the atomic number important to the atom?
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom. Hydrogen is the first element on the Periodic Table of Elements because it only has one proton. The number of protons in an atom and the number of neutrons in an atom are what make atoms different.
Explain Atomic number and mass number - what are these different atoms called?
We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.
How many atoms make 1 molecule?
It takes two atoms to substanciate the atomic substance. ie. One atom does not equal the element. Molecules, on the other hand, are made up of numerous atoms depending on their atomic structure. Be warned: I am not a physicist or a chemist.
Is an atom of an element in the physical world physically altered into a different structure when incorporated into a living organism?
No. No change at the atomic level. An atom is just an atom. Atoms together make molecules. Molecules is where structure arrives and together make organisms.
Are electrons small bits of matter?
Yes. They are sub-atomic particles. In other words they make up parts of atoms.
Describe democritus's atomic theory?
Democritus believed that matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever. Eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained. This piece would be indivisible. He named the smallest piece of matter "atomos," meaning "not to be cut."
What are the smaller particles that make up atoms?
Positively charged protons and neutral neutrons are sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Negatively charged electrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom.
How many hydrogen atoms are necessary to join with oxygen to make it a stable compound when oxygen has an atomic number of 8?
Oxygen always has atomic number 8, but that has nothing directly to do with the rest of the question. The number of hydrogen atoms needed is 2, because that is what must be shared to fill the "outer shell" of both the oxygen atom and each hydrogen atom.
What does two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up?
Two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up PClF2.
