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 particle that determines the mass of the atom along with the proton is the?
The particle that, along with the proton, determines the mass of the atom is the neutron. Neutrons, along with protons, reside in the atomic nucleus and contribute significantly to the overall mass of an atom. While electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons, the mass of an atom is primarily derived from the combined mass of these nucleons.
What part of an Adam has the least mass?
The part of an atom with the least mass is the electron. Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus and have a very small mass compared to protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus. While protons and neutrons have similar masses and are significantly heavier, the mass of an electron is about 1/1836 that of a proton. This negligible mass contributes to the overall mass of the atom, but it is the lightest component.
What is the mass number of atom equal to?
proton
What does atomic mass have to do with the charge of an atom?
First of all, the charge on most atoms is zero. A charged atom is called an ion, and is due to the atom gaining or losing electrons. I assume that you are referring to the charge and mass on the nucleus. Every proton contributes charge and mass. Every neutron contributes only mass. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the two, but due to the fact that different atoms have diffirent isotopes, it is impossible to say, based on mass, what the charge is, or visa versa. For example, most hydrogen nuclei are just single protons. Deuterium has a proton and neutron for a nucleus, and tritium has a proton and 2 neutrons. All of these nuclei have diffirent masses, but same charge.

Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
What particle that determines the mass of the atom along with the proton is the?
The particle that, along with the proton, determines the mass of the atom is the neutron. Neutrons, along with protons, reside in the atomic nucleus and contribute significantly to the overall mass of an atom. While electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons, the mass of an atom is primarily derived from the combined mass of these nucleons.
Is the electron cloud heavy?
No, the electron cloud is not heavy. An electron weighs approximately 2000 times less than a proton or a neutron, so almost all the weight of an atom lies in the nucleus, not in the electron cloud.
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass

Where is most of the mass of an atom contain?
in the nucleus of an atom -proton and neutrons , electrons in the orbit has the negligible mass.
Why are protons and neutrons considered when the mass of an atom but electrons are not?
Electrons have mass that is approximately 1863 times smaller than that of proton, so usually when calculating the mass of atoms, the mass of the electrons is simply not massive enough to make a significant difference to the overall mass of the atom.
How much do neutrons contribute to the total mass of an atom?
The exact contribution varies from atom to atom, since different atoms have different numbers of neutrons. However, in a simple system of one proton, one electron, and one neutron (called a deuterium atom), the neutron contributes roughly as much as the proton does, since its mass is almost (but not quite; the neutron is heavier) equal to that of the proton. To be precise, as listed at http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen01/gen01078.htm, Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg
