Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.

What subatomic particle has the lowest masses?

If you mean subatomic particle as in protons neutrons and electrons, electrons have the lowest mass. If you are talking even smaller, leptons have extremely tiny rest masses.


What statement bout subatomic particles is not true?

"All subatomic particles have the same mass" is not a true statement, as different subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, have different masses and charges.


How can the subatomic particles be distinguished?

They have different masses, electrical charge, dimensions, life time, spin etc.

What is a particle chart?

A particle chart is a visual representation that displays the subatomic particles within an atom. It typically includes protons, neutrons, and electrons, along with their respective charges and relative masses. This chart helps to illustrate the composition of an atom and provides insights into its overall structure.

What is a neutral subatomic particle in an atoms nucleus that has masses nearly equal to that of a proton?

Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Protons and nutrons weight combine to give the mass of the atom. In most atoms, the amount of Neutrons is equivalent to the amount of Protons.
