A proton has a mass of approx. 1 "Atomic Mass unit" or "amu".
What else can I help you with?
Does 8 protons have a weight of one atomic mass unit?
The mass of eight protons is approx. 8 amu.
Why does the number of electrons have little effect on the overal mass of an atom?
Electrons are very light. Protons are approx. 1800 X the mass (rest mass to be presice). Neutrons are about the same mass a protons. So the mass of all the electrons has little effect.
How do you figure the mass of an atom?
You add up the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and Neutrons having an atomic mass of 1, and electrons having an atomic mass of roughly 1/1800.
Protons are the same as the mass or the atomic?
The atomic number is the number of protons. For example, the atomic number of Hydrogen is 1, because it has 1 proton. The mass is calculated using protons, neutrons, and electrons.
In an atom the nucleus contains what?
Neutrons (mass = 1 and charge = 0) and Protons (mass = 1 and charge = +1)
Does 8 protons have a weight of one atomic mass unit?
The mass of eight protons is approx. 8 amu.
Are electrons the same as protons or neutrons?
Proton: positive charged particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u Neutron: neutral particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u Electron: negative charged particle, component of an atom (but not contained in nucleus), mass=approx. 1/1836 from the mass of a proton.
What is the size of protons in a uranium nucleus?
A proton has identical properties in all types of atoms; the mass of a proton is approx. 1 amu.
What has approx the same mass as a neutron?
A protons mass is about 1.001 times the mass of a neutron, so their masses are fairly close.
Why do protons and electrons aproximately equal a atomic mass?
Protons are much heavier (1800 X approx) than electrons! Atomic mass is due to the mass of the protons and neutrons only a very small % of atomic mass is due to electrons.
What are the three fundamental particles that make up atoms?
Atoms are the basic constituents of matter. Protons, Neutrons, And Electrons are the main partilces. Electrons orbit outside nucleus. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus.
Why does the number of electrons have little effect on the overal mass of an atom?
Electrons are very light. Protons are approx. 1800 X the mass (rest mass to be presice). Neutrons are about the same mass a protons. So the mass of all the electrons has little effect.
Location and mass of protons?
in the nucleus, mass 1
Which 2 parts in an atom have the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass in an atom. Protons have a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu), while neutrons have a slightly larger mass of about 1 amu.
What are structure of atom?
An atom has a nucleus containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (without electrical charge); protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons. Around the nucleus are electron shells; electron is negatively charged. The mass of the proton or neutron is approx. 1 amu; the mass of electron is very small cca. 1/1836 from the mass of a proton.
How do you figure the mass of an atom?
You add up the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and Neutrons having an atomic mass of 1, and electrons having an atomic mass of roughly 1/1800.
