The proton an neutron both have a mass of about 1 amu.

(Both have a mass just slightly above 1 amu, and the neutron's mass is slightly larger than that of a proton.)

Which of these subatomic particles contain the heaviest particles?

Hey, it's Song_Writer_Girl13 here! Protons have a +1 (postive) charge and a mass of 1 Neutrons have no electric charge and have a mass of 1 Electrions have a -1 (negative) charge and have a mass of about 0 (there actual mass is so small we just say it's about 0) Therefore, electrons have the greatest mass of the three subatomic particles. Hope I helped!


What two subatomic particles do you add together to get the mass number?

The two subatomic particles you add together to get the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but together they contribute to the mass of an atom.


Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?

The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.


What are two of the same substances that have the same mass but different volumes?

First of all, there's no such thing as the mass of a substance, or the volume of a substance. You can have 0.01 kilogram of water or 10,000 kilograms of water. It only depends on how much you decide to scoop out of the bucket. The water itself has no characteristic mass. Similarly, you can have 1 milliliter or 1 cubic kilometer of potato salad. It only depends on how much you buy at the deli. The potato salad itself has no characteristic volume. If you measure out the same mass of two different substances, then the sample of the substance with the greater density will have less volume. If you measure out the same volume of two different substances, then the sample of the substance with the greater density will have more mass.


What two subatomic particle have about the same mass?

Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, with slightly different values due to the binding energy in atomic nuclei. The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kg, and the mass of a neutron is also approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.

How many subatomic particle would be present in an atom of helium with a mass of 4 amu?

6 subatomic particles. 2 protons and 2 neutrons (that accounts for the mass of 4 amu) as well as 2 electrons.


What two subatomic particles contribute to the amu?

Protons and neutrons. The amu of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons added together.


What is the mass of oxygen in Fe2O3 when the formula mass of Fe2O3 is 160 amu?

In the formula Fe2O3, there are two iron (Fe) atoms and three oxygen (O) atoms. The molar mass of iron is approximately 56 amu, so the mass contributed by iron is 2 × 56 amu = 112 amu. Therefore, the mass of oxygen in Fe2O3 is the total formula mass (160 amu) minus the mass of iron (112 amu), which equals 48 amu. Thus, the mass of oxygen in Fe2O3 is 48 amu.


Draw and label the parts of a helium atom. Include the mass and charge pf each subatomic particle.?

A helium atom consists of two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, surrounded by two electrons in orbitals. Protons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu) and a charge of +1, while neutrons also have a mass of about 1 amu but carry no charge. Electrons have a negligible mass (approximately 1/1836 amu) and a charge of -1. Thus, the overall charge of a neutral helium atom is zero, balancing the positive charges of the protons with the negative charges of the electrons.

If carbon has an atomic mass of 12.011 amu and oxygen has an atomic mass of 15.999 Amy what is the molecular mass of carbon dioxide?

The molecular mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is calculated by adding the atomic mass of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. This is done as follows: 12.011 amu (for carbon) + 2 × 15.999 amu (for oxygen) = 12.011 amu + 31.998 amu = 44.009 amu. Therefore, the molecular mass of carbon dioxide is approximately 44.01 amu.

Which statement compares the masses of two subatomic particles?

Subatomic particles are measured in amu's--atomic mass units. Protons and neutrons are both approximately 1 amu, and electrons have a mass so much less as to be negligible (about 1/2000 that of a proton).
