True or false the mass of a proton is about one atomic mass unit?

False - an electron is about 1/1836 the mass of a proton.


Is it true that the mass of a proton is about one atomic mass unit?

no


The weight of subtomic particles is measured in units called atomic mass units true or false?

Yes, true: the mass of 1 proton is exactly the same as of 1 neutron: 1 a.m.u.


Is a proton is a proton is a proton. True or False?

If a proton, is a proton then it is a proton. (True).


Are neutrons a lot lower in mass than protons?

Neutrons and protons have almost the same mass, with neutrons being slightly heavier than protons. The mass of a neutron is approximately 1.0087 atomic mass units, while the mass of a proton is approximately 1.0073 atomic mass units.


Is it true that A proton is 24 times more massive than a neutron?

False. The mass of proton and neutron are almost similar.


What subtomic particle has the same mass as a proton?

Commonly considered to be a neutron. However the true mass of a neutron is slightly higher than the combined mass of a proton and an electron.


Base weight a system of comparing atomic weights to carbon is it true or false?

True. The unit for the atomic weights of chemical elements is the relative atomic mass unit (1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C). Note that atomic weights is used for elements and atomic mass for isotopes.


The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic number true or false?

False as a generalization but true for some isotopes. The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus, which may coincidentally be the same as the number of neutrons but is not required to be.


A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?

True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.


Is this statement true or false The isotope hydrogen-1 is the standard used for the relative scale of atomic masses?

True. Hydrogen-1, also known as protium, is the standard used for the relative scale of atomic masses. Its mass is defined as exactly 1 atomic mass unit (amu) on the atomic mass scale.


Is it true or false that the proton and the electron have similar masses but opposite electrical charges?

True. The proton has a positive electrical charge and a slightly larger mass than the electron, which has a negative electrical charge. They have equal but opposite charges, making them attract each other in an atom.
