What does adding a neutron to an atoms nucleus do to the atoms mass?

Adding a neutron to an atom's nucleus increases the atom's mass by the mass of the neutron itself. Neutrons are more massive than protons, so adding a neutron will increase the atom's total mass without changing its charge.


What scientific instrument was used to discover that not all atoms of neon have the same mass?

The mass spectrometer was used to discover that not all atoms of neon have the same mass. This instrument separates and measures atoms based on their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing scientists to identify isotopes of elements like neon that have different masses.


What increases on a atom when neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom when its neutral?

When neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom, the number of protons remains the same, so the atomic number stays constant. However, the mass number of the atom increases because neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom without affecting its charge.


Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms They have the same charge. They have the same mass. They are the same isotope.?

These two atoms are isotopes of each other. They have the same atomic number (protons) but different mass numbers due to their different numbers of neutrons. This means they will differ in terms of stability and possibly some properties, but they will have the same charge and occupy the same position on the periodic table.


How do you calculate the molecular mass of a compound?

To calculate the molecular mass of a compound, you add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the compound. This can be found on the periodic table.

Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?

As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge

Why don't you need to worry about the number of neutrons when calculating the charge of an ion?

Neutrons have a charge of 0. You can add all the zeroes you want without affecting the charge.


Why is the charge to mass ratio of proton not constant?

The charge and mass ratio of proton is constant, the positive particles found during discharge tube experiment are nuclei of atoms which have different charge and mass ratio.


What are Atoms 3 particles?

Proton - Relative Atomic Mass of 1, charge of 1. Neutron - Relative atomic mass of 1, charge of 0. Electron - Negligible mass (0), charge of -1.


What two quantities are conserved in redox equations?

there is a conservation of mass and charge.


Are electrons in atoms significant?

By mass, no. By charge and in the determination of chemical bonds, yes.


What is the formula mass of O5F2?

formula mass= atomic mass(found at the bottom of the element in question on the periodic table) multiplied by the quantity of atoms, repeat for other atoms and add together


What subatomic particles has appreciable mass and lacks a charge?

The neutron is the subatomic particle that has appreciable mass and lacks a charge.


What is the difference between photons and electrons?

Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
