How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
How are protons neutrons and electrons different from one another?
Protons and neutrons, firstly, are much larger than electrons. They are packed tightly together in the center of the atom, while electrons flow freely in all directions around them. Also, protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge at all.
If someone picks up an excess of electrons while walking across a carpet their charge would be?
negative protons are positively charged neutrons are neutral electrons are negative the masses of neutrons and protons are approximately equal and electrons, which "orbit" around the nucleus (the protons and neutrons) are much smaller mass-wise protons and electrons charges are equal and opposite
Are there any particles smaller than protons neutrons and electrons?
Electrons are fundamental particles and we can not actually measure the size of an electron (we know we will NEVER be able to). However the size of protons and neutrons can be measured and we know that these particles are made up of other, more fundamental particles which are probably smaller.
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.
Are electrons larger than neutrons and protons?
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
Do protons nuetrons and electrons all have about the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, but electrons are much, much lighter.
What is the mass of an atom mainly determined by?
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Which take up the most space electrons protons or neutrons?
Electrons take up the least amount of space compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are much larger in size compared to electrons and make up the majority of an atom's volume due to their mass.
Which two particles have roughly the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
What are the changes of protons nutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.
What paritcles are found in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and both are much heavier than electrons.
Which particles account for almost all the mass of an atom?
Protons and neutrons account for almost all the mass of an atom. Electrons have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
Which of these characteristics differentiates electrons from protons and neutrons?
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, while protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, and neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus. Electrons are much smaller in mass compared to protons and neutrons.
What two particles are in the nucleus?
(The constituent particles of an atom are the electron, the proton and the neutron; all three are fermions. However, the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and the hydron ion has no electrons.) WIkipedia
What atomic particles carry mass?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are atomic particles that carry mass. Protons and neutrons contribute most of the mass to an atom's nucleus, while electrons have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.
