An atom is the smallest particle of an element, but it also has the strongest charges, which causes it to be repulsed further from the protons and neutrons, thus causing greater volume. However, the volume of the electron itself is so small that it is negligible, also, Google point masses to learn about this second point.

Do atoms have nass and volume?

Atoms do not have mass or volume in the traditional sense, as they are individual particles that make up matter. Instead, we typically refer to the mass and volume of a collection of atoms, such as a molecule or a sample of a substance. Atoms themselves are incredibly small and do not have a defined volume, but they do have mass, which is usually measured in atomic mass units (amu).


Do atoms have a mass and volume?

Yes, atoms have mass and volume. Any object that takes up space has mass and volume.


The particles that make up a sample of matter all have what?

Matter is formed from atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.


When calculating an atoms approximate mass how is the mass of electrons figured?

electrons are the same as protons


What does an elements atomic mass tell about the atoms that make up that element?

It tells you the mass of how many protons and how many neutrons plus the tiny mass of the electrons. The electrons are about .0016 amu so they still have mass


The volume of matter comes mostly from its?

Both, while electrons make up the most of the shell that counts as volume for matter electrons still require protons to keep them in stable orbit. But in short yes it is the electrons. Alex PH


Why are protons and neutrons considered when the mass of an atom but electrons are not?

Electrons have mass that is approximately 1863 times smaller than that of proton, so usually when calculating the mass of atoms, the mass of the electrons is simply not massive enough to make a significant difference to the overall mass of the atom.


Does most of the mass in atoms due to electrons?

no


When bromine reacts with other elements it gains electrons gaining electrons does not effect the mass of the bromine atoms explain why?

electrons have no mass


What has mass volume and is made of atoms?

molecules


True Or False most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move?

True, most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move.


Where arw protons and neutrons found?

Matter and change a small amount of matter in the universe. Matter has mass and volume and is made of atoms. (atoms have) protons neutrons and electrons. Protons neutrons and electrons are found in everything from (pen,book,bread,pillow case, etc.)
