This particle is the neutron.
Of the neutron, proton, and electron, the electron has the smallest mass.
Electrons have no relevant mass, and protons and neutrons both have the mass of 1u. If Calcium has the number 20, it has 20 protons (and electrons). It's mass is about 40u. Core Mass - Protons = Neutrons 40u - 20u = 20u, this means Calcium has 20 electrons, 20 protons and 20 neutrons.
No actually, the neutrons and the protons of an atom are relatively the same in mass. Electrons have the smallest mass in an atom, and are not even considered when we look at the mas sof an atom.
The mass of an atom is determined by the combined mass of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are the primary contributors to the mass, while electrons have a negligible mass in comparison.
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Electrons take up the least amount of space compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are much larger in size compared to electrons and make up the majority of an atom's volume due to their mass.
# of protons = # of electrons # of protons/ electrons + # of neutrons = atomic mass
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
The number of protons
Electrons have the least amount of energy compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have similar amounts of energy in an atom, as they are found in the nucleus and contribute to the majority of the atom's mass.
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - number of protons
