Why are protons neutrons electrons called subatomic particles?
Because they are much smaller than an atom
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.
Differentiate between a proton neutron and electron?
A proton has a positive charge, a neutron has NO charge and an electron has a negative charge. All three are spin 1/2 particles and therefore fermions, however, protons and neutrons are each comprised of three elementary particles called quarks, making them baryons, whereas electrons aren't made out of any quarks, making them leptons. The lack of quarks in electrons mean they don't interact with the strong nuclear force, whereas protons and neutrons do. Additionally, protons and neutrons are much more massive, about 2000 times so, than electrons.
How much neutrons does molybdenum have?
Most molybdenum atoms have 54 neutrons. The atomic number (number of protons) of molybdenum is 42, and its weight (number of protons and neutrons) is around 96. 96 - 42 = 54.
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
Are electrons larger than neutrons and protons?
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
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 is the mass of an atom mainly determined by?
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Which take up the most space electrons protons or neutrons?
Electrons take up the least amount of space compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are much larger in size compared to electrons and make up the majority of an atom's volume due to their mass.
Which two particles have roughly the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
What are the changes of protons nutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.
What paritcles are found in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and both are much heavier than electrons.
Which particles account for almost all the mass of an atom?
Protons and neutrons account for almost all the mass of an atom. Electrons have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
Which of these characteristics differentiates electrons from protons and neutrons?
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, while protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, and neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus. Electrons are much smaller in mass compared to protons and neutrons.
What two particles are in the nucleus?
(The constituent particles of an atom are the electron, the proton and the neutron; all three are fermions. However, the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and the hydron ion has no electrons.) WIkipedia
What atomic particles carry mass?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are atomic particles that carry mass. Protons and neutrons contribute most of the mass to an atom's nucleus, while electrons have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.
