The mass of a proton is about 1.672621777 x 10-27 kg.
The mass of a neutron is about 1.674927351 x 10-27 kg.
The equivalent energy of a proton is 938.272046 MeV/c2.
The equivalent energy of a neutron is 939.565378 MeV/c2.
The difference is 1.293332 MeV/c2, which is the amount of energy released when a down quark is converted into an up quark, changing the neutron into a proton during beta- decay, releasing an electron (0.510998928 MeV/c2) and an electron antineutrino (< 2.2 eV) plus energy of about 0.782333 MeV/c2.

What is the mass of an atom found by?
The mass of an atom is primarily determined by the combined masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons contribute most of the mass since electrons have negligible mass. The exact mass of an atom can be found by adding up the masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Isotopes of hydrogen have the same what?
Same number of protons, different number of neutrons
The atomic masses of two isotopes of cobalt are 59 and 60 what is the number of protons and neutrons in each?
For the isotope with an atomic mass of 59, which is cobalt-59, it has 27 protons and 32 neutrons. For cobalt-60, it has 27 protons and 33 neutrons. This is because the atomic mass includes both protons and neutrons, so subtracting the atomic number (equal to the number of protons) from the atomic mass gives the number of neutrons.
Which particles determine the mass of an atom?
The atomic mass unit is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Atomic masses can determined by weighing molar amount of an isotope. Absolute masses (in kg) are determined by measuring the amount that charged atoms are deflected by magnets, since if you know the charge you can calculate mass from the amount of deflection.
What is the structure of carbon -12 and carbon -14?
Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, meaning they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. This difference in the number of neutrons leads to distinct atomic masses and isotopic properties.
How do the masses of one electron compare to the masses of protons and neutrons?
mass of electron = 1/1836 mass of proton (or neutron)
Is the is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in an isotope of the element?
Isotopes involve different atomic masses. It is sum of number of protons and neutrons.
What are the masses of each subatomic particle?
protons and neutrons are about 1 amu
What are atoms of an element that make different atomic masses?
protons and neutrons
What The atomic mass of an atom equals the sum of the masses of the?
Protons and neutrons.
What do neutrons and protons have common?
The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.
What neutrons and protons have in common?
The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. While electrons contribute very little to the atomic mass, the protons and neutrons, found in the nucleus, account for the majority of an atom's mass.
Do electrons neutrons and protons have essentially the same mas?
No, Protons and Neutrons have similar masses, but one electron is equal 1/1836 of a proton in mass.
What information does the atomic mass of an elemt provide?
the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Atomic mass is found by adding together the individual masses of the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. --> Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons
How do you get atomic mass?
Atomic mass is found by adding together the individual masses of the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.--> Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons
If the atomic mass of oxygen is 16 and the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 how do the current atomic masses compare to daltons?
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table is an average of all the isotopes of an element, which includes the mass of the protons and neutrons. Therefore, the atomic masses listed for oxygen (16) and hydrogen (1) are in daltons.
