ps the world won't blow up- it's okay.
What else can I help you with?
What number tells the mass of the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic mass number is the mass of the nucleus in atomic mass units.
Why does alpha radiation produce the greatest change in mass number?
Alpha radiation involves the ejection of a helium nucleus, which has a mass number of 4. This results in the largest change in mass number compared to beta and gamma radiation, which involve the emission of electrons or photons with much smaller masses.
The nucleus makes up 99 percent of the atoms what?
The nucleus makes up nearly all of the mass of an atom, with over 99% of its mass concentrated in the nucleus. Within the nucleus, most of the mass is found in the protons and neutrons, while the electrons surrounding the nucleus contribute very little to the overall mass.
Why is it said that the nucleus of an atom contains almost the entire mass and not the entire mass?
Yes. An electron, one of those little negatively charged critters that forms up around the nucleus of an atom, has little mass compared to the nucleons. (Nucleons are protons and neutrons - the particles that make up the nucleus). In fact, the mass of an electron is less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton. All the electrons in any given atom account for only a tiny amount of the total mass of that atom. Almost all the mass is accounted for the protons and neutrons (if any) in the nucleus. It's that simple, and you already show that you know it.
Why do the mass of atom depend upon the nucleus?
The mass of an atom depends on the nucleus because the nucleus contains the majority of the atom's mass in the form of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons. The mass of an atom is essentially the combined mass of its protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Lost of an atoms mass is in the nucleus?
Almost all of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.
What happens to this lost mass?
Mass cannot be truly lost, as stated in the law of conservation of mass. It can change forms, such as being converted into energy through processes like nuclear reactions or chemical reactions. In these cases, the mass is not truly lost but rather transformed into a different state.
What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.
What happens to the lost mass during fission?
The lost mass (or mass defect) transforms into energy according to the law: E = mc2
Explain what happens to the mass that is lost when a nucleus forms?
When a nucleus forms, the mass that is lost is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2. This energy is released in the form of radiation or kinetic energy of the particles involved in the nuclear reaction, such as alpha particles or beta particles.
How does mass defect relate to binding energy in the nuclear?
Mass defect is the difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This lost mass is converted into binding energy, which is the energy required to hold the nucleus together. The greater the mass defect, the greater the binding energy holding the nucleus together.
What happens when a cold air mass meets warm air mass?
A warm front forms.
Will there be an increase in mass during beta decay in nucleus?
If you are asking whether the nucleus' mass would increase, the answer is no. Beta decay involves emission of an electron from the nucleus. This happens when a neutron converts to a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino. A neutron is heavier than a proton, and the anti-neutrino carries away some energy with it, so the mass of the nucleus decreases.
What happens a cold front takes over a warm air mass?
An "occlusion" forms.
What number tells the mass of the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic mass number is the mass of the nucleus in atomic mass units.
What is the mass of a hydrogen nucleus?
The mass of a hydrogen nucleus is approximately 1 atomic mass unit.
Is most mass in the nucleus?
Yes, the great majority of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus.
