helium as it contains 2 protons, while hydrogen only contains 1. Additionally, the orbit of the 2 electrons in a neutral helium atom would also be larger than the orbit of the single electron in hydrogen.

Niether. In 2015, the largest known atom belonged to ununoctium.


Why does Helium has higher IP than Neon?

because the size of helium is smaller than that of neon.


Does magnesium have a smaller radius than helium?

Atoms do not have a radius. A helium atom has a nucleus composed of at least two protons and maybe one or two neutrons. A magnesium atom nucleus (and every other atom on the periodic table other than hydrogen) is BIGGER than a helium nucleus. So if you look at it that way...magnesium is larger than helium


What more does a carbon atom have than a helium atom?

A carbon atom has more protons, neutrons, and electrons than a helium atom. This gives carbon different chemical properties and the ability to form larger and more complex molecules compared to helium.


Which has greater number of atoms a gram of helium or a gram of neon?

Neon is larger because it has more protons, electrons, and neutrons. Look at the element's Atomic Mass for an idea of its size.


Which element has the largest atom Helium or argon?

Argon has a higher mass number which means it has more particles in its nucleus than helium so I would go with argon.


What are the differences between neon and helium?

Neon has 8 more protons and 8 more electrons than helium. It's heavier, but still lighter than air.


Which is better neon gas or xenon gas?

Depends on the purpose. But if you combine neon with helium, and obtain a helium-neon laser, you can see that it is much smaller than a xenon laser.


What element has a mass of less than 30 and is a noble gas?

The element with a mass of less than 30 and is a noble gas is Neon (Ne). Neon has an atomic mass of around 20.18 and is a colorless, odorless gas commonly used in neon signs due to its bright red-orange glow when electrified.


What is the smallest atom?

Hydrogen is the smallest atom by mass. Helium, neon, fluorine and oxygen are smaller in size. Many calculations put the helium as the smallest atom. But a few other calculations put neon as the smallest atom!


How many times heavier is a sulfur atom than a helium atom?

A sulfur atom is about 32 times heavier than a helium atom. This is based on the atomic masses of sulfur (32 amu) and helium (4 amu).
