Protons and neutrons provide the mass of an atom. Each different kind of element has a unique number of protons. For example: all hydrogen atoms have one proton. However, not all hydrogen atoms have the same mass. Some hydrogen atoms have no neutrons, one neutron, or two neutrons. Atoms of the same element (one proton) but different numbers of neutrons (different masses) are called isotopes of that element. All elements have isotopes. Some isotopes of elements are radioactive and are useful in medicine and energy applications (nuclear, for instance).

What subatomic particle is used in a bond?
electrons
How many subatomic particles in potassium oxide?
Potassium oxide is K2O.It has 46 protons and 46 electrons (19 + 19 + 8 = 46).If the most stable isotope of K and O are used (K-39 and O-16), then there will be 48 neutrons (20 + 20 + 8 = 48).So the total number of sub atomic particles will be 140(46 protons + 46 electrons + 48 neutrons).
Are quarks traveling at the speed of light?
Quarks have not been observed to exist separately - they are "confined" within larger particles such as protons and neutrons, that are made up of several quarks (3 each, in the case of protons and neutrons).
Why can an electron not be accelerated by a cyclotron?
I think it is because they do not carry a charge. They are neutrons therefore they are neutrons. The LHC can accelerate protons because they carry a positive charge, for example. The LHC uses magnetic fields to accelerate particles, which will have no effect on neutrally charged particles.
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.
What are the subatomic particals?
Subatomic particles are parts of the building blocks of our world. Atoms house protons, neutrons and electrons which are key examples of subatomic particles. Protons, neutrons and electrons themselves are made of even smaller blips called quarks. These minute objects build up the world and control various things like the states of an object, whether it is hot or cold and other key natural events.
Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?
no i cant answer it
What is a subatomic particle with two neutrons that is emitted during some types of radioactive decay called?
This would be the alpha particle. An alpha particle has two neutrons and two protons, and it's actually a helium-4 nucleus. That's why we write this particle like this: 42He or He+2 Use the links below for more information.
What are the Three basic subatomic particles?
The three sub-atomic particles are:# Proton # Electron # NeutronAtoms are made up of Electrons, Neutrons, and Protons. These subatomic particles are known to be made up of even smaller particles. Particle accelerators are being used today to discover more of these particles.
Which two subatomic particles make up most of the atoms mass?
It is usually considered to be neutrons and protons that hold most of an atom's mass, however there is one theoretical subatomic particle that is used to help explain mass, called the higgs boson particle.
What is the difference between an atom and a particle?
An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A particle, on the other hand, is a general term used to describe any subatomic entity, including atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, and other smaller particles like quarks and leptons.
Is a micron a subatomic particle?
No, a micron is not a subatomic particle. A micron is a unit of measurement equal to one millionth of a meter, typically used to measure the size of particles or cells. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two neutrons and two protons?
Used by Rutherford in his experiment made of two protons and two neutrons are alpha particles. Rutherford discovered the nucleus using his gold foil experiment.
What is a antonym for neutron?
The concept of "antonym" is used for properties, not for objects (or, in grammatical terms, for adjectives and adverbs, not for nouns). There is a particle called an "anti-neutron", but that can hardly be considered an antonym.
What is the subatomic particle with a no electrical charge?
I think you might be referring to the Neutrinos in the Lepton section of the Subatomic Particle Table, each non Neutrino in the Lepton section has a Neutrino equivalent, for example an Electron and a Electron Neutrino, or the Muon and the Muon Neutrino. Unless you were referring to the Gauge Bosons which are forces used to connect Quarks and Leptons together, all the forces have a 0 charge. This should answer the Question.
What subatomic particles is used to classify the properties of an element?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the subatomic particles used to classify the properties of an element. The number of protons determines the element's atomic number and defines its chemical properties. Neutrons help determine the stability of an atom, while electrons influence its reactivity and bonding behavior.
What subatomic particle is used in a bond?
electrons
