The subatomic particles that contribute most almost no weight to an atom are electrons at various energy levels. Isotopes of the same element differ from each other only by the number of neutrons.

Why are electrons the only subatomic particles that can move?
The subatomic particle that can jump (technically it doesn't move, the technical term is jump since it moves so fast that it will go from one place to another without passing through the space in between) is an electron.
Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
Is your weight a property of mechanical equilibrium?
Your weight is the gravitational attraction force between you and the Earth and not a property of mechanical equilibrium. Mechanical equilibrium is a state in which a momentum coordinate of a particle, rigid body, or dynamical system is conserved.
Mass of an atom is mainly due to nucleus?
Yes, the atomic weight of the protons and neutrons in an atom (the 2 particles that make up the nucleus) is 1 for each of them. The other particle in an atom is an electron. The atomic weight of an electron is 1/1840 so it is often considered negligible.
What is the difference between the three subatomic particles?
The main differences are proton and neutron are in the nucleus, electrons are outside of the nucleus. The weight of an electron is between a hundred and a thousand times less of that of a proton and neutron and the charge on a proton is positive, neutron is neutral and electron is negative
Are the protons positively charged and the lightest subatomic particle?
Protons are positively charged but are not the lightest. They are about 2000 times the weight of electrons.
What subatomic particle makes the periodic table in the order of elements that it is in?
The order of the periodic table is made according to the atomic weights of the elements. The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus make the atomic weight. Protons make the elements in order of the periodic table.
What is a neutral subatomic particle in an atoms nucleus that has masses nearly equal to that of a proton?
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Protons and nutrons weight combine to give the mass of the atom. In most atoms, the amount of Neutrons is equivalent to the amount of Protons.
The atomic mass of an element is the weight of what subatomic particles?
The protons and neutrons.
What is mg designation of subatomic particles?
milligrams use for weight small amount's
What particle of an atom has very little weight?
electron
What subatomic particles are almost the same weight?
Protons and neutrons are about the same weight. Electrons are far lighter than either protons or electrons.
Weight of subatomic particles is measured by?
These masses cannot be measured directly; they are derived by calculation from other physical data.
What type of muscle contributes more weight in your body?
Skeletal muscle contributes more weight in a person's body than any other muscle type. It accounts for 40% of a person's total weight.
What particles move the slowest?
The cell is the slowest moving particle because of its weight and its size.
How does the particle size of a liquid a solid and a gas compare?
The particle size of a liquid, a solid and a gas will differ in weight and volume. Systems can mean the size of the respective bubbles particles, and droplets.
Why are electrons the only subatomic particles that can move?
The subatomic particle that can jump (technically it doesn't move, the technical term is jump since it moves so fast that it will go from one place to another without passing through the space in between) is an electron.
