Is the mass of one electron equal the the mass of one atomic mass unit?
No, the mass of one electron is approximately 1/1836 times the mass of one atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which is much larger than the mass of an electron.
Is an electron a standing wave?
No -- an electron is a point particle with mass, charge, and spin. The probability that you will find an electron at a specific point can, however, often be calculated by wave functions. Any moving mass can be considered either a particle or a wave. Its properties can be defined via the deBorlie wave equation.
Why is the mass of an atoms electrons not included in the atoms mass number?
Mass number is defined as the number of protons and neutrons. It is related to Atomic Mass which incudes electron mass and nuclear binding energy , (binding energy reduces the overall mass relative to the combined masses of the protons and neutrons.) Electron mass is not included as mass number is element specific wheras the count of electrons varies depending on the chemical state. The mass of electrons is negligible compared to the mass of the protons and neutrons, binding energy is a larger effect.
What does the atomic mass of an electron represent?
The mass of an electron is atomic mass units is 5,485 799 090 70(16); the mass of the electron is not an atomic mass.
What is an electron's atomic mass number?
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
Which subatomic particle has the smallest mass alpha particle neutron electron proton?
among these Electron has the least mass....
What is the mass of of an electron?
Electron has a mass of about 9.10938215 × 10−31 kg.
Is the mass of an electron one hundredth the mass of a proton?
No, the mass of an electron is roughly 1/1836 the mass of a proton.
How does the mass of a proton compared to the mass of the electron?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of electron compare to the mass of the proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of an electron compared to the mass of proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
