Which particles account for almost all the mass of an atom?
Protons and neutrons account for almost all the mass of an atom. Electrons have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
The neutrons in an atom have the least amount of mass?
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.
How many protons could a stable atom with 90 neutrons potentially have?
A stable atom with 90 neutrons could potentially have a maximum of 90 protons, as the number of protons would have to be equal to or less than the number of neutrons for the atom to be stable.
An atom has no mass?
An atom does have mass. The mass of an atom is primarily concentrated in its nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
What do you call a germanium atom with 2 less protons?
A germanium atom with 2 less protons would be an atom of silicon. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, while germanium has an atomic number of 32. By removing 2 protons from germanium, you end up with an atom with an atomic number of 30, which corresponds to silicon.
An atom with more or less neutrons is called a?
atomic number

Does an atom become more or less stable as it loses neutrons?
It can do either, depending on it's state previous to losing neutrons. Generally if an atom is shedding neutrons it is doing so to become more stable.
How many protons could a stable atom with 90 neutrons potentially have?
A stable atom with 90 neutrons could potentially have a maximum of 90 protons, as the number of protons would have to be equal to or less than the number of neutrons for the atom to be stable.

Why you prefer silicon atom as compared to germanium atom?
Silicon is preferred over germanium because it is more abundant, less costly, and has a higher thermal stability. Silicon also forms a better oxide layer, making it more suitable for integrated circuit applications. Additionally, silicon has better electron mobility and is less susceptible to thermal runaway compared to germanium.
What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
What part of the atom is the heaviest has the most mass?
The nucleus of an atom is the heaviest part and contains most of the atom's mass. It is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
The Atom boron Had 5 protons 6 neutrons 5 electrons it is now know as a?
Um. Atom? Element? If it has an equal number of protons and electrons, it has a neutral charge, so is not an ion. If it is not bonded to anything, it is not a molecule. You could call it an isotope of Boron, however this term is usually only used for less common isotopes, meaning atoms with different numbers of neutrons, and the atom with 6 neutrons is the most common isotope of Boron. Is there any more information in the question, or does anything happen to this atom?
Where does all of the mass of an atom exist?
The majority of an atom's mass comes from its nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are joined. The electrons of an atom are so distant and so minuscule in size, that their weight is negligible. When calculating the mass of an atom is therefore protons+neutrons.
