What do you think the majority of an atom is made of?

Nearly all the mass is in the nucleus; however, the bulk of an atom's volume is empty space.


Importance of nucleus?

The nucleus provides that bulk of the mass of an atom. The nucleus is the location of the positively charged protons and the neutrons that make up an atom.

What state of matter is an atom?

States of matter are bulk properties. A single atom does not have any bulk properties, so it has no defined state of matter.


Is an oxygen atom have twice the mass of a sulphur atom?

No, an oxygen atom does not have twice the mass of a sulfur atom. An oxygen atom has a mass of approximately 16 atomic mass units (amu), while a sulfur atom has a mass of approximately 32 amu. Therefore, a sulfur atom has twice the mass of an oxygen atom.


How is the Rutherford model different from previous models?

Rutherford's model for the atom, based on the Geiger-Marsden experiment results, contained the new features of a relatively high central charge concentrated into a very small volume in comparison to the rest of the atom and with this central volume also containing the bulk of the Atomic Mass of the atom. later this is called as nucleus.

What does adding A neutron to an atom's do to the atom's mass?

Adding a neutron increases the atom's mass by about 1 AMU assuming it remains stable.


Which of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?

Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
