What else can I help you with?
Is the weight of an object due to the gravity on it?
It is due to the amount of mass the object has.
Where are electrons located in the nucleus?
The electrons are not in the nucleus, they are around the atom in a "probability cloud" due to heisenburgs uncertinty principle.
The force of gravity acting on an object is the objects what?
All mass attracts all other mass, thats a fact. The force between two independent masses depends on the total mass and the distance between them. The "cause" of gravity is subject to great debate, even today.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
What are mass and weight linked by?
Weight = Mass x g g = acceleration due to gravity. (g ~= 9.8 m/s2 Weight is a Force and is calculated in newtons(N) or dynes. Mass is calculated in kilograms(kg).
All of the mass of an atom is due to the?
The mass of an atom is the sum of the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
What percentage of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson?
About 2% of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson. The rest is due to the effect of the Strong Nuclear Force.
The mass of an atom aftre it under goes fission or fusion?
The mass of an atom after undergoing fission or fusion will be less than the original mass because some of the mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2). In fission, the total mass of the products is less than the original atom due to the release of energy. In fusion, the combined mass of the reactants will be slightly more than the mass of the resulting atom due to the energy input required.
What one has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
An atom of lead has more mass than an atom of gold. This is because lead has a greater atomic mass than gold, due to the larger number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a lead atom compared to a gold atom.
What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?
The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
Is Most of the mass in an atom is in electrons?
the mass of electrons is negligble the pe rcentage of an atom's mass comes from its protons and neutrons
What particles make up the mass of the atom?
Protons and neutrons, the particles that make up atomic nuclei, are the ones responsible for almost all of the mass of an atom. As the electron has less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton, a whole flock of electrons won't significantly change the mass of an atom. We look to the protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are being considered as components of an atomic nucleus) to contribute to the mass of an atom, and they will be considered when we derive the atom weight of an element.
What is the hard core of an atom?
The hard core of an atom refers to the nucleus, which is the central region of an atom containing protons and neutrons. It has a positive charge due to the presence of protons and accounts for almost all of the atom's mass. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds.
What does atomic mass have to do with the charge of an atom?
First of all, the charge on most atoms is zero. A charged atom is called an ion, and is due to the atom gaining or losing electrons. I assume that you are referring to the charge and mass on the nucleus. Every proton contributes charge and mass. Every neutron contributes only mass. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the two, but due to the fact that different atoms have diffirent isotopes, it is impossible to say, based on mass, what the charge is, or visa versa. For example, most hydrogen nuclei are just single protons. Deuterium has a proton and neutron for a nucleus, and tritium has a proton and 2 neutrons. All of these nuclei have diffirent masses, but same charge.
Is this problem true or false Most of the mass of an atom is due to its protons an d neutrons?
This is true.
Where in the atom do you find the mass of the the atom?
The mass of an atom is primarily located within the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, contribute very little to the overall mass of the atom due to their much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.
