What else can I help you with?
What is the same about isotopes and atom?
All the isotopes of an atom have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
What atom is the only atom that has neutrons?
Actually, all atoms have neutrons except for one, and that is the normal hydrogen atom, which is only comprised of a single proton and electron.
What charge are neutrons in the magnesium atom?
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
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.
What is the purpose of nucleus in an atom?
The nucleus of an atom is the central part of an atom containing practically all the mass of the atom. The nucleus is composed from protons and neutrons.
What is the same about isotopes and atom?
All the isotopes of an atom have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
How hydrogen atom is different from all other elements?
The hydrogen atom has no neutrons in the nucleus. There is just a proton and an electron.
What makes up nearly all of the atom's mass?
The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
How many isotope of magnesium differ from normal atom?
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What atom is the only atom that has neutrons?
Actually, all atoms have neutrons except for one, and that is the normal hydrogen atom, which is only comprised of a single proton and electron.
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What charge are neutrons in the magnesium atom?
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
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.
What is the purpose of nucleus in an atom?
The nucleus of an atom is the central part of an atom containing practically all the mass of the atom. The nucleus is composed from protons and neutrons.
Do atoms have equal electrons and protons?
Not all atoms have an equal number of protons and neutrons. They can, but they don't have to. Helium, for example, has two of each, but carbon (always with 6 protons) can have 6, 7, or even 8 neutrons. The more neutrons, the more likely it is to be radioactive. The number of protons and neutrons gives the atomic weight of an atom. All of the various amounts of neutrons that an element can have are called isotopes of that element.
What is contained in the nucleus of a atom?
Protons and neutrons. Virtually all of the atom's mass.
What is a nucleus of the atom contains?
Protons and neutrons. Virtually all of the atom's mass.
