Weight: the amount or quantity of heaviness or mass; amount a thing weighs.
Mass: a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size:
example: When on the moon for example, your weigh will differ from your weight on earth. Your mass however does not change.

Electrons and protons differ in their?
Mass, electric charge, and internal structure.
A radioactive element has a half-life of 2000 years. If a sample of this element begins with a mass of 100 grams how long would you have to wait for the mass to decrease to 25 grams?
You would have to wait 6,000 years for this to occur, because it requires twice the half-life to reduce the radioactive isotope to 1/4 of its original mass.
5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?
Isotopes of one particular element (atom) only differ in mass and stability (decay), not in chemical properties.
Alpha particles and beta particles differ in?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei while beta particle are negatively charged electrons . Alpha particle have 4u mass while beta particles have zero mass.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).

How does Uranus' mass differ from Earth's mass?
The mass of Uranus is about 14.5 times the mass of earth.
What is the mass of a Swimmer in kg?
Trick question. The mass of the swimmer will always be the same it is the weight that will differ.

How do the Jovian planet interiors differ?
All have cores of about the same mass, but differ in the amount of surrounding hydrogen and helium.
How do isotopes of a given element differ?
number of neutrons and mass
What do atoms subatomic particles differ in?
They differ by mass, electrical charge, dimensions, location in atom, type of qurks contained.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Are you allowed to eat meat after Good Friday Mass?
I suppose the answer is yes. But you have to wait until Mass is over. Since there is no Mass on Good Friday you will have to wait until after the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday. Otherwise you are free to eat meat after midnight on Friday night.
How do weight and mass differ from each other?
Weight is how heavy something is and mass is how much space something takes up.
Why does isotopes have different mass from one another?
because they differ in the number of neutrons
