How many neutrons and protrons does americium have?

Americium has an atomic symbol of Am. Looking at a periodic table, you'll see that it has an atomic number of 95. This indicates the number of protons. As for neutrons: Again referring back to the periodic table, you'll notice Am has an atomic mass of 243amu. Each proton is 1amu, and we know Am has 95 of those. Also, every neutron is 1amu. So, we get 243amu - 95amu = 148amu. And thus there are 148 neutrons.

How do you convert 1amu into grams?

The atomic mass unit (amu) is defined to be exactly 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom (Not a mole of carbon atoms...) Therefore 1 C-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12.00000000 amu. Also, therefore, 1 amu is a very small unit of mass - specifically 1amu = 1.66053X10^-24 grams. 1.00 mole of C-12 atoms has a mass of 12.0000000 grams!


How are protons and neutrons different and alike?

Similarities1. They nearly have the same mass.2. They are both inside the nucleus. (They are both nucleons).3. Strong nuclear forces act on protons and neutrons.Differences1. Protons are positively charges and neutrons carry no charge.


What is the charge and location of the three subatomic particles?

protons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge +1, location in the nucleus. neutrons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge 0, location in the nucleus. electrons --- rel. mass 0 amu, rel. charge -1, location outside the nucleus.

How many neutrons are in the element samarium?

There are 88 neutrons in Samarium (Sm). This can be calculated quite easily: Neutrons=1amu Protons=1amu Since the atomic mass is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons, and the atomic number is the number or protons, you can simply subtract the mass from the atomic number to see how many neutrons are present. (Atomic Mas - Atomic Number = Number of neutrons) 150 - 62 = 88 (Note: The mass of Sm is slightly larger than 150 but for the purpose of time, mass is almost always rounded in calculations)


Who is lightest Hydrogen molecule or methane molecule?

Hydrogen molecule is the lightest because of its atomic mass being less than any other molecule .i.e 1amu (atomic mass unit). Hence Hydrogen molecule is lighter than Methane molecule.


As we know that 1amu not equal to mass of 1 proton then why protium is equal to 1amu?

The atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom. It is a unit of mass that is used to describe the masses of atoms and molecules. The mass of a proton is actually slightly less than the mass of a carbon-12 atom, so it is not equal to 1 amu. However, the mass of a protium atom (which is an atom that consists of a single proton and no neutrons) is very close to 1 amu. This is because the mass of the proton makes up most of the mass of a protium atom. Therefore, protium is often said to be "approximately equal" to 1 amu.


What has the least mass in an atom?

The election within an atom would have the least mass. Protons and neutrons have a mass roughly that of 1amu, while an electron's is 1/1840 of an amu.


Does the mass number and the isotopes distinguish an element from a different one?

Well your question is not exactly clear. But the ONLY thing that defines one element from another is the number of protons it has. Hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2 protons and so on. A neutral atom has an equal amount of protons and neutrons. An isotope is an atom that has an imbalace of of protons and neutrons, but only the number of neutrons can change. Never protons, because that would make it another element. Protons and neutrons each wiegh 1amu (atomic mass unit). A neutral helium atom has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. So its atomic weight is pretty much 4amu. Electrons wiegh 1836 times less than 1amu so they are almost signifigant to the mass of an atom. Number of protons make an element what it is.
