The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
The electrical charge is changed by -1 when an atom loses an electron. The atomic mass number is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and is unaffected by the loss of an electron.
The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms. In comparison, a hydrogen atom, which consists of one proton and one electron, has a mass of about 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. This means that the mass of the electron is roughly 1/1836 of the mass of the hydrogen atom, making the electron's mass negligible in comparison to the proton's mass within the hydrogen atom.
Relative mass number of an electron is 0

Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Non-examples of mass number would include atomic number (number of protons in an atom), electron configuration (arrangement of electrons in an atom), and atomic mass (average mass of an atom, taking into account all isotopes).
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In this case, the atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, so the mass number would be 11 + 12 = 23.
Which particle? The electron.
All parts of the atom weigh something but when doing calculations electrons are said to have a mass of 0. This is because they actually have a mass of 1/1836 amu which is insignificantly small and so it is disregarded.
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
no of electrons in any atom is equal to the atomic number of that element so no of electron is 80
The electrical charge is changed by -1 when an atom loses an electron. The atomic mass number is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and is unaffected by the loss of an electron.
In the atom a proton has the charge +1 and the electron the charge -1.
