What is the ratio of a proton to the mass of a neutron?
The mass of a proton and neutron are pretty close. So the ratio will be roughly 1 to 1 (or 1:1). The neutron is heavier and if memory serves it is exactly the mass of an electron heavier than a proton. Note it takes around 1820 electron to equal the mass of one proton.
Does a neutron weigh as much as a proton?
No, a neutron is slightly more massive than a proton. Both particles have roughly the same mass, but due to the different composition of their internal quarks, the neutron is slightly heavier.
Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?
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.
Do the designations hydrogen and neutron for the proton and neutron imply that these two praticles are of equal mass?
No, the designations of hydrogen for the proton and neutron for the neutron do not imply that these two particles are of equal mass. A proton is about 1836 times heavier than a neutron. The terms "hydrogen" and "neutron" were historically used to describe these particles based on their properties and roles in atomic structure, rather than their masses.
Is tritium heavier or lighter that deuterium?
Tritium is lighter than deuterium. Tritium is a hydrogen isotope with one proton and two neutrons, making it heavier than regular hydrogen but lighter than deuterium, which has one proton and one neutron.
Why is most mass of the atom is in the nucleus?
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
Is Most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus?
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
Is Duterium heavy than Tririum?
Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen (H). As far as their masses: Tritium>Deuterium>Protium In their nuclei: Protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons Deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons So yes, Deuterium is heavier than tritium.
The most massive particle in an atom is the?
The neutron has slightly more mass than a proton. Both are usually rounded off to a mass of 1 amu but the neutron is just a little heavier (about 1/1800 th heavier)
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Which is heavy either Duterium or Tritium?
Tritium is heavier than deuterium. Tritium consists of one proton and two neutrons, while deuterium consists of one proton and one neutron. Because tritium has an extra neutron, it is heavier than deuterium.
Which is bigger a proton or neutron?
The neutron is 0.16% larger than a proton.
