An atom's mass is located entirely in the nucleus. In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus, but because the mass of an electron is so insignificantly small, it's not counted when determining the total mass.

How many atoms in PVC?

We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. PVC is not single atom. We cant give it a atomic number.


What two parts of the atom make up the atomic weight of the atom?

The protons and the neutrons.


How many hydrogen atoms make up the same mass as one sodium atom?

To find the number of hydrogen atoms that make up the same mass as one sodium atom, you need to compare the atomic masses. A sodium atom has an atomic mass of 23 daltons, while a hydrogen atom has an atomic mass of 1 dalton. Therefore, 23 hydrogen atoms make up the same mass as one sodium atom.


What statement can you make about the number of atoms in a relative mass of each type of atom?

The number of atoms in a given relative mass of each type of atom depends on the atomic mass of the elements involved. Since atomic mass is expressed in atomic mass units (amu), a heavier atom will have fewer atoms in the same mass compared to a lighter atom. For example, one gram of hydrogen, which has a low atomic mass, contains significantly more atoms than one gram of lead, which has a much higher atomic mass. Thus, the number of atoms varies inversely with the atomic mass of the element.


Explain Atomic number and mass number - what are these different atoms called?

We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.


Why is the atomic number important to the atom?

The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom. Hydrogen is the first element on the Periodic Table of Elements because it only has one proton. The number of protons in an atom and the number of neutrons in an atom are what make atoms different.


Do atoms contain elements?

Yes, atoms are the building blocks of elements. An element is a type of atom characterized by a specific number of protons in its nucleus. So, every atom is associated with a particular element based on its atomic number.


What element is used to make atomic clocks?

The atom of the isotope caesium 133; the definition of second in SI is based on this atom.


Are electrons small bits of matter?

Yes. They are sub-atomic particles. In other words they make up parts of atoms.


What parts make up a molecule of water what what parts make up?

A molecule of water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, chemically bonded together. The hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom, forming a water molecule with the chemical formula H2O.


What is the atomic number of pyrite?

pyrite is a mineral consisting of 2 elements, so it doesn't have an atomic number. pyrite consists of iron and sulfur; FeS2 (Fe=1 Iron atom & S2= 2 Sulfur atom; these three atoms make a pyrite molecule). i this helped


4 sub-atomic paricle composition of 4 atoms?

The four sub-atomic particles that make up atoms are protons, neutrons, electrons, and positrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus. Positrons are the antimatter counterpart of electrons.
