It depends on what the electron is made up of if it is say hydrogen it only has 1 neutron when say oxygen has 8 neutrons 2 in the first shell and 6 in the second so it is larger .

How can a object have a lot of mass but a little volume?

An object can have a lot of mass but little volume if the particles making up the object are densely packed together. For example, a material like lead is very dense, so even a small volume of lead can have a lot of mass. This can result in objects that are heavy but take up little space.


Do objects that have large masses always have large weights?

well if it has little mass it has little weight and if you have a lot of mass the possibility of it would be that it weights a lot


Why electrons have no mass?

They have mass, it is just too little in comparison to the mass of the neutron and protons to be taken into account. Therefore when measuring the mass of an atom, the mass of the electron are not used. (To be exact,9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms, and the mass of proton is 1.67262158 × 10-27 kilograms.)

Why is it important for electrons to have no mass?

Electrons having mass is essential for understanding their behavior in the realm of particle physics. Mass affects various interactions of electrons, such as their ability to couple with the Higgs field to acquire mass or participate in the weak force interactions. Without mass, electrons would not be able to form stable atoms, and the entire foundation of chemistry and matter as we know it would be fundamentally different.

Why does the number of electrons have little effect on the overal mass of an atom?

Electrons are very light. Protons are approx. 1800 X the mass (rest mass to be presice). Neutrons are about the same mass a protons. So the mass of all the electrons has little effect.


Which particle or particles of an atom have little mass?

Electrons are the particles of an atom that have little mass compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons are around 1836 times lighter than protons and neutrons.

Which contains so little mass that it is insignificant Of the atoms three components?

electrons


What is compared to the electron that has very little mass?

Electrons are compared to Dynes....thx


Which contains a little mass out of the atoms three components?

Protons and Neutrons have almost equal mass. However, electrons mass is very less as compared to them.


Does data of computer has mass?

it has the same mass as the electrons that make up the data, therefore the mass is so little that it would make no difference to anything.


Is a atomic mass of one element is equal to mass of protons neutrons and electrons?

In a way yes, it is really only the amount of protons and neutrons, but electrons are so small they carry so little weight that they add so little consequece to the atomic weight of an atom.

Is atomic number the same as mass number?

Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom; atom mass is the total mass of the atom (usually neglecting the mass of the electrons because they have so little).


Atomic weight of electrons in h2o?

Negligible. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of an amu, so the 18 electrons in a water molecule contribute a little under 0.01 amu to the total mass of the molecule.


Is the number of electrons the same thing as the atomic mass in an atom?

No, electron count really doesn't have anything much to do with atomic mass. Let's look. Most of the mass of any atom is concentrated in the nucleus. It's the protons and neutrons there that give the atom "weight" and the electrons contribute almost nothing. Additionally, electrons can be loaned or borrowed by atoms, and this changes their mass very little. The number of electrons is not very "connected" to atomic mass of an atom.
