Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
The differences in mass among atoms are primarily due to variations in the mass of their protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons contribute most of the mass, with electrons being much lighter in comparison. The number and arrangement of these particles in an atom determine its mass.
When the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom changes, the atom is now a different isotope of that element.
The different number of neutrons in the element. They are called isotopes.
The isotopes have different no. of Neutrons.
Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.
The three subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons have similar masses of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu), while electrons have a much smaller mass of about 0.0005 amu.
Chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 have a different number of neutrons. Chlorine 35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine 37 has 20 neutrons. This causes them to have different atomic masses.
Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes of the element. The presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is responsible for the existence of isotopes of an element.
Yes they do.
protons and neutrons are about 1 amu
If you mean subatomic particle as in protons neutrons and electrons, electrons have the lowest mass. If you are talking even smaller, leptons have extremely tiny rest masses.
They have different masses, electrical charge, dimensions, life time, spin etc.
They have different masses, electrical charge, dimensions, life time, spin etc.
an alpha particle
Alpha Particle
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
air masses with different characteristics such as temperature and humidity do not usually mix. so when two different air masses meet a boundary forms between them.
The neutron and the proton have masses close to 1 amu.
That is the correct spelling of the plural noun "particles" (dust, or subatomic masses).
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 alpha particle basically has the mass of a helium atom, since it is a helium nucleus. The beta particle has the mass of an electron - a beta particle is either an electron or an anti-electron. The gamma ray has no rest mass, since it moves at the speed of light. However, it can have a fairly high energy, and therefore an associated mass. The mass varies in this case; that is, gamma rays can have different energies, and therefore different masses.
