Where is the most of the mass in an atom?

Most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons are about the same weight, 1 amu. The elecrtons are 1/1840 of the mass of an proton. Neutrons are 2000 times heavier than electrons and protons have an equal mass of neutrons


What parts of the atom makes up the mass of the atom?

Protons and neutrons, because the mass of electrons is very insignificant - 1/1840 in relation to protons and neutrons, which are both 1 each.


Which subatomic particles have similar masses?

Neutrons and protons have mass 1 (relative to proton, given the value of 1).Electrons have mass 1/1840 (relative to proton, given the value of 1).:)Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.


Mass of electron compared to proton?

Mass of electron is about 1837 times less than the mass of proton


Why does the nucleus hold almost all of the mass of an atom?

The nucleus consists of neutrons and protons. One neutron or proton is about 1840 times bigger than an electron, which explains the difference of mass between nucleus and the elecrons. When atomic mass is calculated, the mass of the electrons is discounted, due to its relatively insignificant mass.


How do the sizes and masses compare of protonsneutrons and electrons?

"Size" is kind of a nebulous concept when talking about subatomic particles. Due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, electrons are more "delocalized" than the much more massive neutrons and protons, so let's just say that electrons are "bigger" and leave it a little vague what exactly we mean by that.In terms of mass, protons and neutrons are approximately the same mass (neutrons are very slightly heavier), and both about 1840 times more massive than electrons.


How do protons neutrons and electrons differ in terms of mass electrical charges and locations in the atom?

a neutron's location in an atom is in the core, or nucleus, of that atom, this nucleus is made of both neutrons and protons. the electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus. to picture this, imagine a baseball field. the pitchers mat is the nucleus, and all the remaining area of the field, including the bleachers, is the electron cloud. everyone in that field, when spread out evenly among the field, are the electrons.


Do protons nuetrons and electrons have the same mass?

um if i remember correctly an electron has 1840 times less mass than a proton and an electron + a proton makes a neutron so a neutron is one 1840th more hevyer than a proton :P esther says: that is rude so the correct answer is no


What parts of an atom makes up all the mass of an atom?

The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.


What is one of the particles found in the structure of an atom?

There are three types, a neutron, a proton and an electron. Neutrons have no charge and a mass of 1, protons are positively charged with a mass of 1, and electrons are negatively charged with a mass of 1/1840


What has the least mass in an atom?

The election within an atom would have the least mass. Protons and neutrons have a mass roughly that of 1amu, while an electron's is 1/1840 of an amu.


What is 99.9 percent of the mass of an atom?

[The nucleus has more massive parts (protons and neutrons) than the surrounding electron cloud]. This is because 99.9999 % of the volume of space that the Atom occupies is Empty Space. Below is another person's answer... longer and more complicated than mine. it was said to have a repeated answer. The nucleus accounts for 99.9% of an atom's mass simply because neutrons and protons are much more massive than electrons. Mass of proton: 6726 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg Even though the electron cloud accounts for most of the atom's area, a huge percentage of the cloud is empty space, and the electrons within it are minuscule to begin with. The highly dense nucleus contains most of the mass.
