Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
How much greater is the mass of a proton and neutron than an electron?
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
What features do electrons protons and neutrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge, are much smaller than protons and neutrons, and are located in orbitals around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are located in the nucleus of an atom, and determine the element's identity. Neutrons have no charge, also reside in the nucleus of an atom, and help stabilize the nucleus.
How much do neutrons contribute to the total mass of an atom?
The exact contribution varies from atom to atom, since different atoms have different numbers of neutrons. However, in a simple system of one proton, one electron, and one neutron (called a deuterium atom), the neutron contributes roughly as much as the proton does, since its mass is almost (but not quite; the neutron is heavier) equal to that of the proton. To be precise, as listed at http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen01/gen01078.htm, Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg
Do protons nuetrons and electrons have the same mass?
um if i remember correctly an electron has 1840 times less mass than a proton and an electron + a proton makes a neutron so a neutron is one 1840th more hevyer than a proton :P esther says: that is rude so the correct answer is no
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has a mass approximately equal to that of a proton, which is about 1,836 times the mass of an electron.
Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?
A neutron has a mass that is approximately the same as a proton, both with a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit.
How much greater is the mass of a proton and neutron than an electron?
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have similar masses, both being much larger than the electron.
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
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.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?
No, the charge to mass ratio value would not be the same if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have different charge and mass compared to electrons, so the ratio would vary. The charge to mass ratio is specific to each type of particle.
Is a neutron heavier than an electron?
A neutron is actually heavier than a proton because a neutron is made up of a proton + an electron + subatomic particles. The relative masses are: * Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg * Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg * Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg
Does electron weigh more or less then proton and neutron?
Protons are made up of Subatomic Particles, in this case a Proton Atom is made up of two Up quarks, and one Down quark. The mass of an Up Quark is 2.4 MeV/c2 and the mass of a Down quark is 4.8 MeV/c2. Electrons are still in the Subatomic Particle Table, an Electron is a type of Lepton. An Electron's mass 0.511 MeV/c2 which is a lot less than a Proton, even less than a Up quark itself (the lightest quark). In most cases when talking about Atoms and their mass Electrons don't normally have an effect on their mass, only the Neutrons and Protons in the Atom. This should answer the Question.
How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of one neutron?
One neutron is approximately equal in mass to one proton. Since an electron is much smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton, it would take a large number of electrons to equal the mass of one neutron.
