No, Protons and Neutrons have similar masses, but one electron is equal 1/1836 of a proton in mass.

Do protons circle the nucleus of an atom?

Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)


What particles make up orange juice?

the same ones as make up you: protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Does antimatter have a nucleus?

Antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. Consider that atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. An antimatter atom could be composed of anti-protons, anti-neutrons and anti-electrons (which we know as positrons).


What is the difference between protons neutrons and electrons can I please have a simple answer?

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.


How can you use the periodic table to find the number of protons in one atom of an element?

valence electrons is the same as the number as the last digit in the group :)

Which two particles have roughly the same mass?

Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.


How are atoms the same?

they all have protons,neutrons,and electrons


Do protons nuetrons and electrons all have about the same mass?

Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, but electrons are much, much lighter.


What statement is true about atoms protons neutrons and electrons?

Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.


What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?

The weight of an atom is primarily controlled by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same weight, while electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.


How many neutrons are there in an element having a mass number of 52 and an atomic number of 22?

30. The Atomic mass is essentially the protons + neutrons. The Atomic number is the protons. Or the neutrons. Or even the electrons. With the exception of ions and isotopes, those numbers are all the same.


An atom has what number of protons and electrons?

9 protons and 10 neutrons in F-19 isotope.


A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?

no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)


What atom has 11 neutrons 11 protons and 11 electrons?

none because the number of protons and electrons have to be the same.


What element is composed of atoms with the same number of neutrons or protons?

Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.


What do Atoms of the same element have same atomic?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Rutherfordium?

Rutherfordium has 104 electrons and 104 protons. The number of neutrons is between 149 and 264, depending on the isotope.
