How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Which is more dense the nucleus or the electron cloud?
The nucleus is significantly more dense than the electron cloud. The nucleus contains most of the mass of an atom, while the electron cloud occupies a much larger volume with a very low density.
How does the electron cloud's distance from the nucleus affect the atom's overall stability?
The distance of the electron cloud from the nucleus affects the atom's stability. When the electron cloud is closer to the nucleus, the atom is more stable. This is because the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons are closer together, creating a stronger attraction. Conversely, if the electron cloud is further from the nucleus, the atom is less stable as the attraction between the nucleus and electrons is weaker.
What is a region around the nucleus in which electrons move about?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.
Where is a electron?
In atoms. More specifically, they orbit the nucleus of an atom, in the aptly name electron cloud. Or electron shell.
Which part of the atom contains more than 99 percent of its mass?
The protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are responsible for the majority of the atom mass while the much smaller electrons orbit the nucleus.
Most mass of an atom is located where?
Nearly all of an atom's mass is located in its nucleus, which holds an atom's heaviest particles, protons andneutrons The electrons in its Electron Cloud have nearly no mass so they are not counted.
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Is the electron cloud the most massive part of the atom?
No, it is not. Almost all of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus. The proton, that carrier of the positive electrical charge, is some 1836 times more massive that the negatively charged electron that it attracts to "build" an atom. If we take a look, we'll find that in a simple hydrogen-1 atom, a single proton is in the nucleus and a lone electron makes up the electron cloud. And the nucleus is about 1836 times more massive than the "rest" of the atom. In a helium-4 atom, two protons and two neutrons form the nucleus and a pair of electrons form the electron cloud. In this case, the nucleus is about 7,444 times as massive as the electrons. As we move up the periodic table, the figure gets even more lopsided.
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?
It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.
What is the electron cloud called?
Not exactly. An electron is an actual physical particle with a negative charge. An electron cloud is (generally) a spherical area around the nucleus of an atom that predicts where the electrons might be located.
Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
