the electron is the least massive atomic particle
The nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, contains most of an atom's mass.
Isotope.
Atomic mass is based on the proton and neutron. For the most part the mass of an electron is infinitesimally small.
Protons have a positive charge and weigh 1 AMU Neutrons have a neutral charge and weigh 1 AMU Electrons have a negative charge and 1184 electrons weigh 1AMU so they are thought to add nothing to the mass of an atom. You may want to check out Bohr's model or the duet/octet rule.
An Aluminum atom is 26.9815 AMU on *average*.
Electron. Contains basicaly no mass what so ever.
Which particle? The electron.
The nucleus contains the mass.
the nucleus of the atom
Electrons are the least massive particles in an atom. They have a mass that is about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron.
the nucleus
Electrons have the least mass of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom (protons, neutrons, and electrons). They have a mass that is approximately 1/1836 times that of a proton or neutron.
The electron is the smallest subatomic particle in an atom and has almost no mass compared to the proton and neutron.
the electron
Electrons have the least mass in an atom. They are much lighter than protons and neutrons.
