Electrons have a smaller mass than both protons and neutrons. Both protons and neutrons are over 1800 times as massive as electrons.

Are electrons larger than protrons?

No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.


Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?

Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.


How do you identify the relative mass relaitive charge and location of the three smaller subatomic particle of an atom?

protons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge +1, location in the nucleus. neutrons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge 0, location in the nucleus. electrons --- rel. mass 0 amu, rel. charge -1, location outside the nucleus.


Do protons electrons or neutrons have more mass?

Neutrons.Neutrons and Protons have approximately the same mass, and electrons have comparatively almost no mass!Protons do have mass, but not very much. A proton's mass is 1.66 x 10-24g, and it takes 6.02 x 1023 of them to make a gram (with thanks to the Italian chemist Avogadro, whom that number is named for).


How are electrons neutrons and protons different?

Protons have a positive (+) charge.Neutrons have no charge.Electrons have a negative (-) charge.Proton and neutron are roughly the same sizeElectrons are considerably smaller than protons or neutronsProtons and neutrons have a relative atomic mass of 1The mass of electrons is so small it is not included in calculations of an atom's mass.

What are the changes of protons nutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.


How do you calculate the mass number?

mass number= protons+nutrons

What is the mass of an atom mainly determined by?

The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.


How do you find an element through its mass?

you would have to know how many protons, nutrons, and/or electrons are in the element. then you subtract the number from its mass and you get the other number. p=e=am.p+n=m.


What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?

The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only


Where can you find a chart listing the amount of protons nutrons and electrons are in an atom?

All you need is the periodic table and a brain. The number of protons is the atomic number(located at the top left hand side of the square for each element) The number of nutrons is the the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic Number.


Are electrons larger than protrons?

No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.


Are electrons smaller then protons and neutrons?

In their mass, that is about correct. The volume can not be accurately determined.


What atomic particles carry mass?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are atomic particles that carry mass. Protons and neutrons contribute most of the mass to an atom's nucleus, while electrons have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.


Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?

As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.


Are electrons bigger than neutrons and protons?

Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
