No actually, the neutrons and the protons of an atom are relatively the same in mass. Electrons have the smallest mass in an atom, and are not even considered when we look at the mas sof an atom.

What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?

The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.


Is atomic mass the amount of neutrons in the nucleus in the atom?

atomic mass = number of neutrons + number of protons.


Do Protons Neutrons or electrons have the most energy?

Electrons have the least amount of energy compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have similar amounts of energy in an atom, as they are found in the nucleus and contribute to the majority of the atom's mass.


What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?

If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)


What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom called?

The atomic mass.


What has the least mass in an atom?

The election within an atom would have the least mass. Protons and neutrons have a mass roughly that of 1amu, while an electron's is 1/1840 of an amu.


Which particles determine the mass of an atom?

The atomic mass unit is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Atomic masses can determined by weighing molar amount of an isotope. Absolute masses (in kg) are determined by measuring the amount that charged atoms are deflected by magnets, since if you know the charge you can calculate mass from the amount of deflection.


N atom has 7 protons and a mass number of 14 What is the number of neutrons in an atom of N?

The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. In this case, nitrogen (N) has 7 protons and a mass number of 14. So, the number of neutrons in an atom of nitrogen is 14 - 7 = 7 neutrons.


What is the mass of the atom?

Atomic Mass is a measure of mass, just like kilos and pounds. There are at least 118 different basic atoms in the universe, all with different masses. The atomic mass of an atom is roughly the combined amount of protons and neutrons in it's core. For example: The atomic mass of a standard Oxygen atom, which has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its core, is 15.994u (roughly 16).


Is a proton the least mass?

In an atom, there are 3 types of particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.Theoretically, protons and neutrons weight 1 Atomic Mass Unit. An electron weights 1/1836 of an Atomic Mass Unit. Therefore, in an atom, electrons weigh the least.

What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
