What else can I help you with?
Does a electron have almost no mass?
An electron has a very small mass compared to other particles, such as protons and neutrons. Its mass is about 1/1836 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
What is smallest atom neutron electron or ion?
The electron is the smallest of these entities, being a subatomic particle with a mass much smaller than that of a neutron or an ion. Neutrons and ions are composed of multiple subatomic particles and have greater mass compared to electrons.
What does a neutron have a charge of?
An atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A proton is positive, a neutron is neutral, and an electron is negative. So it has a neutral charge.
A charge on a proton?
A proton carries a positive charge of +1 elementary charge, which is equal in magnitude to the charge of an electron but opposite in sign. This charge is fundamental to the behavior of protons in interactions with other particles.
What is emitted when a neutron decays into a proton?
A neutron in an atomic nucleus changes into a proton and an electron and an antineutrino. The electron is ejected from the nucleus and the antineutrino escapes, and that ejected electron is called a beta minus particle. Yes, it is still an electron, but the designation as a beta minus particle makes it clear where it came from - the result of the transformation of a neutron into a proton, that electron and the antineutrino (which carries off extra energy).
What is the charge of an atom with one proton one neutron and one electron combined?
There is zero net charge as the proton (+ve) and electron (-ve) cancel each other out and the neutron is neutral.
Can electrons be found in the nucleus of an atom?
Though the electron itself is not present in the nucleus of an atom, the elementary particles that make up the electron are present inside the neutron. In other words, a neutron is made up of an electron and a proton. How do we know this? Because when a neutron decays, it slowly decays into a proton and an electron. It's a cycle.
Which particle is not found in the nucleus?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.
Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
Negatively charged particle that is one of the three basic building blocks of atoms?
The electron, with the other two basic subatomic particles being the proton and neutron. Careful - while the electron is an elementary particle, the proton and neutron are composed of even smaller particles.
In beta-minus decay is it the appearance of an electron that makes the neutron and proton balance each other or a dynamic force of neutron and proton that produces the electron?
It is a confusing subject and it gets worse the more you get into it! Basically, in beta-minus decay, a neutron changes into a proton within the nucleus, and an electron and a neutrino are emitted. This is put down to the weak nuclear force. The theory goes that a down quark in the neutron changes to an up quark by emitting a W boson which then becomes an electron and a neutrino, whilst the neutron becomes a proton. That said, I am not sure what you mean by 'neutron and proton balancing each other', as the reaction is more like your second proposition. The isotope in question then becomes the element with an atomic number one higher than the original, because now it has an extra proton, though its atomic weight is almost the same.
What does protons do?
In an atom, the proton is the positively charged particle that is in the atomic nucleus. The other particles associated with the atom are the neutron and electron.
What will NOT produce a track of condensed vapour in a cloud chamber electron neutron positron proton?
The neutron will not produce a track in the cloud chamber. The neutron, proton, electron and positron are all types of particulate (particle) radiation, and all can do damage, but the neutron interacts much less with the air in a cloud chamber than the other particles will. This means the other particles will leave a tidy little ionized trail behind them on which condensate can form to "paint" the path of the particle. And the neutron will not.
Does a electron have almost no mass?
An electron has a very small mass compared to other particles, such as protons and neutrons. Its mass is about 1/1836 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
Why neutron has neutral charge?
Because it's basically made of a proton and an electron, and those two charges cancel each other out.
The beta rays emitted from atomic nuclei?
There are two beta decay schemes. Beta- involves changing a neutron into a proton and emitting an electron and an electron antineutrino. Beta+ involves changing a proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and an electron neutrino. There are other steps and factors involved, but that is the simple explanation.
What are the changes on each subatomic particle?
Do you mean Charges? There is the Proton which has a positive or + charge. An electron which has a negative or - charge. And a nuetron that has no charge. There are other sub-subatomic particles i don't think they have charges though.... not sure on that one.
