Photons and neutrinos dont have mass.


Is alpha particle is heavy particle?

An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units.


Which particle has the least amount of mass?

The 'rest mass' of the photon is zero ... but the photon is never at rest, and it has plenty of mass at the speed of light, at which it is always traveling. so that let's the photon out. Amongst particles that actually have rest mass, but not much of it, the neutrino probably has the least.


Which subatomic particle is least massive?

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.

Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?

atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

What happens to atomic number and atomic mass of an atom that emits alpha particle?

An alpha particle is a positively charged nuclear particle consisting of two protons bound to two neutrons. The atomic number of an atom decreases by 2 and the mass number decreases by approximately 4 when an alpha particle is ejected.


What particle is least massive?

The least massive principle atomic particle is the electron. Neutrons and protons are much more massive and are about equal in mass. Of course, there are even smaller particles such as quarks which are less massive than even electrons.
