Very nearly all of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus in the form of Protons and Neutrons. Electrons and "binding energy" contribute a tiny amount of additional mass.

Where does most of the mass of glucose come from?

Most of the mass of glucose comes from carbon atoms, which are incorporated into the glucose molecule during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is taken in from the air during photosynthesis and converted into glucose, providing the majority of its mass.


What is the mass of 4.9810e21 platinum atoms?

The mass of 4.9810e21 platinum atoms is 0,000 042 g.


What Make up 50 percent of the atomic mass of the nucleus?

Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

Does mole of carbon atoms have a different mass than a mole of sulphur atoms?

Yes. To find out the mass of a mole of atoms of any given element, see the atomic mass given on the periodic table. A mole of carbon atoms has a mass of 12.011 grams. A mole of sulfur atoms has a mass of 32.06 grams.

Do all protons have the same mass if they come out of helium?

All protons have the same mass regardless of where they come from. It should be noted, however, that most of the mass in atoms comes from the forces holding the atom together.


What can come from splitting the nuclei of atoms?

More nuclei of more atoms than you started out with, less mass than you started with, and some energy.


Why water have measurable mass?

Water has measurable mass because it is composed of molecules, which are made up of atoms. These atoms have mass, and when they come together to form a water molecule, that mass adds up. The total mass of water is a measure of the sum of all the masses of its individual molecules.


How many Helium-atoms and Carbon-atoms do you have if you have He-atoms with mass of 40amu and C-atoms with mass of 120amu?

Mass of 1 Helium atom is 4 amu and mass of 1 Carbon atom is 12 amu. So there are 10 helium atoms and 10 carbon atoms


Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?

Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.


How does density relate to atoms found in an object?

Density is defined by the equation d = m/v, or mass / volume. So yes, they are related, and if one has the volume of an atom and the atomic mass, they can figure out the density. Keep in mind that the vast majority of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, but the majority of the volume is given by the electron cloud (which has negligible mass.)
