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 is the mass number of this atom?

What 2 parts of an atom give it is mass?

The atomic mass of an element depends on the weight of the protons, neutrons, and electrons (almost negligible) in one mole (6.022 x 10^23 atoms) of the element.


What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?

Number of proton = atom numberfor example:Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass numberfor example:Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4


If a hydrogen atom has a mass of 3 is it an isotope?

No, a hydrogen atom with a mass of 3 is not an isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen isotopes include protium (mass 1), deuterium (mass 2), and tritium (mass 3).

What percentage of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson?

About 2% of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson. The rest is due to the effect of the Strong Nuclear Force.


When it loses two electrons to become a calcium ion what is it's new mass?

38 amu EDIT: This answer is INCORRECT. Electrons do not have significant mass.


How many protons does an atom of Carbon have if it has a plus 2 charge and a mass of 15?

An atom of Carbon with a mass of 15 and a +2 charge must have 13 protons. This is because the atomic number of Carbon is 6, so a neutral Carbon atom would have 6 protons. Since the atom has a +2 charge, it has lost two electrons, making it a cation, and giving it 2 more protons than electrons.


What is the mass number of a helium atom that has 2 protons and 2 neutrons?

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 4 - 2 = 2 neutrons


This atom is a of helium -4?

The atom is an isotope of helium called helium-4. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons in its nucleus, giving it a total atomic mass of 4 atomic mass units.
