No. Electrons are subatomic particles, meaning they are smaller than atoms. Atoms contain electrons, not the oter way around.

What is the size of an atom versus an electron?

An atom is much larger in size compared to an electron. An atom consists of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons surrounded by orbiting electrons. Electrons are subatomic particles that are about 1/1800 the size of a proton or neutron.


What are the three picies to an atom?

The three main particles in an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged). Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus at the center of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in shells.


Does an oxygen atom consists of sub atomic particles?

All atoms consist of sub-atomic particles. An oxygen atom by itself consists of 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. Protons, neutrons and electrons are all sub-atomic particles. Protons and neutrons are hadrons, and electrons are leptons. Leptons are elementary particles themselves, but the group known as hadrons (which includes protons and neutrons) are not elementary and are made up of smaller still sub-atomic particles called quarks. In the case of protons and neutrons, they are made of up and down quarks. A proton is made of 2 up and 1 down quark, and a neutron is made of 2 down and 1 up quark.


What 3 types of particles are atoms made up of?

Atoms are made up of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element of the atom, while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary.


An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?

Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.

An atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. The numbers will vary from element to element.


What are atoms are made up of?

Atoms are made out of Electrons, which are made out of ting electrical particles (positive and negative). The particles balance themselves and make up an atom. (1 positive+1 negative=neutral atom) When the particles get neutral, they form an atom. The lightest atom (1 negative and 1 positive) is hydrogen. Oxygen is made out of 8 negative and 8 positive. It is impossible to tell what these tiny particles are made out of. When you separate the positives and negatives, they look for there mates and cause a gigantic explosion, which is the atomic bomb.


How is an atom given a neg charge?

In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.

Does an atom has mass?

Yes, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are neutrons each weigh 1 Atomic Mass unit (amu). Electrons weigh about 1/1836 of an amu and don't really contribute to the weight of an atom at all. The more protons and neutrons an atom has the more it weighs.

How many electrons does hydrochloric acid have?

Valence electrons are the electrons from the outermost shell of the atom. Number of valence electrons in an atom = the group number of that atom Valence electrons of a moleucle = sum of the valence electrons of all the atoms in that molecule. The molecule HCl has 1 hydrogen (group number =1) and 1 chlorine atom (group number =7). The total number of valence electrons in HCl = 1(1) + 1(7) = 8 Pushpa Padmanabhan Lansing Community College
