What else can I help you with?
What is lighter than hydrogen?
No element is lighter than hydrogen. Not even stripping the electron off a hydrogen atom would make a lighter item, because electrons have almost no mass and the proton would just grab it back anyway.
What is the subatomic particle with a mass number of zero and a charge of -1?
In the atom a proton has the charge +1 and the electron the charge -1.
What part of an atom has the least mass?
the electron is the least massive atomic particleelectron
Which statement compares the masses of two subatomic particles?
Subatomic particles are measured in amu's--atomic mass units. Protons and neutrons are both approximately 1 amu, and electrons have a mass so much less as to be negligible (about 1/2000 that of a proton).
Protons are so much more massive than electrons that you can neglect the mass of electrons when determining the mass of an atom?
Atomic mass is based on the proton and neutron. For the most part the mass of an electron is infinitesimally small.
What is the mass of an electron when compare to the mass of hydrogen?
The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms. In comparison, a hydrogen atom, which consists of one proton and one electron, has a mass of about 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. This means that the mass of the electron is roughly 1/1836 of the mass of the hydrogen atom, making the electron's mass negligible in comparison to the proton's mass within the hydrogen atom.
How can there be 1 proton with a hydrogen atom with a mass?
Though a hydrogen atom typically has one proton, its mass is not solely determined by the proton. The mass of a hydrogen atom comes from the combination of the proton and an electron. The electron contributes a much smaller amount to the overall mass compared to the proton.
What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?
There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).
If mp is the mass of a proton and me is the mass of an electronthe reduced mass of hydrogen atom is almost equal to?
The reduced mass ( \mu ) of a hydrogen atom, which consists of a proton and an electron, can be calculated using the formula ( \mu = \frac{m_p m_e}{m_p + m_e} ). Given that the mass of the proton ( m_p ) is significantly larger than that of the electron ( m_e ), the reduced mass is approximately equal to the mass of the electron for practical purposes. Thus, the reduced mass of the hydrogen atom is almost equal to ( \frac{m_e}{2} ), or about ( 9.11 \times 10^{-31} ) kg when considering the mass of the electron.
Is hydrogen the smallest particle of an element?
An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.
How does the mass compare to the mass of a electron?
The mass of a neutron is approx 1837 times that of an electron. The mass of a proton is similar to that of a neutron. In the simplest atom, hydrogen, the mass of the nucleus is 1,837 times that of an electron. In the largest known atom, that of ununoctium, containing 281 baryons (neutrons or protons) the mass of the nucleus is approx 516,200 times that of an electron. So take your pick: 1,837 to 516,200.
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
Is the Mass of hydrogen atom is about the same as a proton?
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
Which atomic particle has the least mass?
An electron has the least mass among the three fundamental particles of an atom, which includes protons and neutrons.
A hydrogen atom that has mass number of 1?
This is called also protium and contain 1 proton and 1 electron.
How does the mass of a nucleus compare to a electron?
The mass of a neutron is approx 1837 times that of an electron. The mass of a proton is similar to that of a neutron. In the simplest atom, hydrogen, the mass of the nucleus is 1,837 times that of an electron. In the largest known atom, that of ununoctium, containing 281 baryons (neutrons or protons) the mass of the nucleus is approx 516,200 times that of an electron. So take your pick: 1,837 to 516,200.
