When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
When a beta particle is released, the atom's mass remains approximately the same because it loses an electron, which has such a small mass in comparison to the whole atom that it is negligible.
What is the total mass of a electron in a atom?
electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms
What is the electron mass an atom?
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
Which particle of an atom has the less mass?
The Electron.
What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?
The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
What will be the effect of the removal of an electron to the mass of atom?
As mass of elactron is very small as compare to proton and neutron So there will be no effect on mass if electron is removed
How the mass of an atom is organized?
most of the mass is contained in the nucleus.the mass is spread evenly through the whole atom, and the electron cloud.
Which subatomic particle does not have a very big effect on the mass of the whole atom?
The electron.
How does the mass compare to the mass of a electron?
The mass of a neutron is approx 1837 times that of an electron. The mass of a proton is similar to that of a neutron. In the simplest atom, hydrogen, the mass of the nucleus is 1,837 times that of an electron. In the largest known atom, that of ununoctium, containing 281 baryons (neutrons or protons) the mass of the nucleus is approx 516,200 times that of an electron. So take your pick: 1,837 to 516,200.

What is the electron mass an atom?
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
How does the mass of electron compare to the mass of the proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of a electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
