yes. the atomic weight of an atom is determined by how many protons and neutrons it has. determine the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the Atomic Mass
What else can I help you with?
What are the atoms subatomic particles?
The proton, neutron and electron are the three subatomic particles. Protons and neutrons are formed from quarks and gluons. The proton and neutron carry a (nearly) identical mass. m_p = 1.673 * 10^-27 kilograms m_n = 1.675 * 10^-27 kilograms while the electron is considerably smaller and much less massive. m_e = 9.110 * 10^-31 kilograms For those unfamiliar with scientific notation, those numbers are: m_p = .000000000000000000000000001673 kg m_n = .000000000000000000000000001675 kg m_e = .000000000000000000000000000000911 kg Protons carry a positive electric charge while electrons carry an equal and opposite negative charge. Neutrons are electrically neutral.
Is quark the smallest particles?
People would say yes. But actually, no. Neutrino is nearly 20 times smaller.
What is pair of particles with nearly the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.
Why is an atom with fewer electrons in the outer shell more reactive?
That isn't really true. What makes atoms more reactive is if their electronic configuration is nearly that of a noble gas -- in other words is either has just one or two electrons less or more than a noble gas.So elements with either 1, 2, 6 or 7 valence electrons tend to be especially reactive.so the guy who gave the first answer doesnt know what hes talking about.
What are the words that start with AL and mean very nearly?
Almost is a synonym for very nearly. It begins with the letters AL.
Are electrons nearly weightless particles?
Electrons have a very small mass, approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms. While their mass is small compared to larger particles, electrons do have a measurable weight due to their mass.
What are the subatomic particles with no mass called?
Subatomic particles with no mass are called neutrinos. Neutrinos are elementary particles that have extremely small, non-zero masses, but they are considered nearly massless in many calculations due to their very small mass values.
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.
How can quarks be visualised?
Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons. They are fundamental building blocks of matter and cannot be visualized directly as they are smaller than subatomic particles like electrons. Quarks are studied indirectly through the particles they form and their interactions within particle accelerators.
What is largehadroncolider?
it is large (half in Switzerland and half in France) and it collides subatomic particles to see what happens when very small things blow up at nearly the speed of light
What subatomic particle has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge?
The neutron is a subatomic particle that has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge.

What is the hardron collider?
The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, located in Switzerland. It is used to collide subatomic particles at high speeds in order to study the fundamental particles that make up the universe and understand the laws of nature at the smallest scales.
Is electron neutron and protron the same?
No. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles found in atoms. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons 'orbit' the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are very nearly the same mass (1.672 x 10^(-27) kg for protons, 1.674 x 10^(-27) kg for neutrons) while electrons are far smaller (9.109 x 10^(-31) kg). Protons have a charge of +1, electrons have a charge of -1, and neutrons are (as their name suggests) neutral.
Which of the subatomic particle is the lightest?
Electron, lightest stable subatomic particle known. It carries a negative charge, which is considered the basic unit of electric charge. The rest mass of the electron is 9.109 × 10−31 kg, which is only 1/1,840the mass of a proton. An electron is therefore considered nearly massless in comparison with a proton or a neutron, and the electron mass is not included in calculating the mass number of an atom.
Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?
Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.
What is a neutral subatomic particle in an atoms nucleus that has a mass nearly equal to a protons and no change?
Neutrons.
