Each carbon atom (atom number 6) has 6 protons (in nucleus) and 6 electrons (orbited around), the number of neutrons (also in nucleus) may vary from 6 or (less common) 7 or (rarely) 8.

Does CaCl2 contain energy?

Yes, every single subatomic particle contains energy, E=mc2. This has been demonstrated by the generation of particle/anti-particle pairs in particle accelerators.


What is an example of a subatomic particle explain?

Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Charge: neutral Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Charge: negative Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu. Charge: positive


How are an Ion and electron different?

an electron is a subatomic particle which every atom has. an ion is a charged particle (Ca2+ or Na+) It has one or more electrons than the number of protons...


How do you call a subatomic particle that has no mass and a negative charge?

No such particle exists. All particles with charge also have mass -- no exceptions. Every particle with zero mass also has zero charge -- no exceptions.


What are protons and where are they found?

Protons are a type of subatomic particle, which are found in the nucleus of every atom. Protons have an electrical charge of +1. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.


How many things are there in the universe?

The question is way too imprecise. You should clarify what you mean by "things" - if you want to include every subatomic particle, then the amount of "things" is large indeed.


How can be energy converted into mass?

One way uses particle colliders. Some of the energy of high velocity subatomic particles in the collisions creates new particles.


How do you use proton in a sentence?

Every hydrogen atom contains a single proton.


Are atoms subatomic?

Not sure what you mean by "edible," but, if you mean, "Would there be any harm if someone swallowed a sub-atomic particle?", then be aware that every piece of food you have ever eaten is composed of sub-atomic particles.

Which subatomic particle is most easily lost from an atom?

The photon probably may be the answer. Every time an electron of an atom gets "excited" after gaining energy, it emits a photon to reach, or rather obtain the ground state(energy levels)


Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?

Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
