Where in the atom is the mass of the atom concentrated?
It is the nucleus. Mass of electrons is too small
The center of an atom where the neutrons and protons exist?
That is called the nucleus. It is positively charged and it makes up most of the atom's mass.
Is alpha particle is heavy particle?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units.
Do electrons have the mass as protons?
Protons are part of the nucleus, so they have less mass than the nucleus (except in the specific case of hydrogen, where the nucleus is a single proton so they have the same mass).Electrons are much less massive than protons. It would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of one proton.Neutrons are very slightly more massive than protons, by just about the mass of an electron. They're close enough that they're generally treated as having essentially the same mass.
What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.
Where is most of mass of an atom within the nucleus or outside of the nucleus?
Most of mass in nucleus.Mass in out is very low.
Most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the?
in the nucleus of the atom
What is the most of the mass of an atoms?
The nucleus.
Where in an atom is most of is mass?
In the nucleus.
What is most of the mass of an atom?
The nucleus.
Where is most the mass of an atom called?
The most mass of an atom is found in the nucleus.
Where in the atom is the mass of the atom concentrated?
It is the nucleus. Mass of electrons is too small
Where is the great majority of the mass of the atom found?
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Is most of the mass contained in the nucleus of the atom?
Yes. because electrons revolve around the nucleus and have practically negligible mass when compared to the nucleus.
Is the most of the volume of an atom empty space or nucleus?
Most of the atom is empty space (between the electron orbitals and the nucleus itself). If your talking about nucleus vs. electrons then the nucleus is larger in volume and mass
What represents most of an atom's mass?
The nucleus of an atom represents most of an atom's mass.
Where is most of the mass located in am atom?
nucleus
