the relative atomic mass for the element potassium is 39.0983
slightly more than 14, carbon 12 has an atomic mass of 12 by definition, so 1 atomic mass = the sum of the mass of a proton neutron and electron divided by 2 neutrons are slightly heavier than the combined mass of an electron and proton carbon 14 has a higher percentage neutrons than carbon 12 so it is heavier relative to the number of particles in it's nucleus(14)
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
Atomic mass is so small you can't actually measure it. So, just like carbon dating, you have to use a relative mass.
Dunno, but the ratio of the mass of a proton to the mass of what prople think of as being an electron is approx 1980. I'd check that if I were you though. Probably OK to +- 5%.
1/1840 the mass if a hydrogen atom.
To find the relative uncertainty in the mass of the electron, you would typically determine the absolute uncertainty in the measurement of the electron's mass and then divide it by the measured value of the electron's mass. Finally, multiplying by 100 will give you the relative uncertainty as a percentage.
Relative mass number of an electron is 0
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times the mass of a proton. This means that electrons are much lighter than protons.
electron = relative charge = 1- relative mass = 1/1840 proton = relative charge = 1+ relative mass = 1 neutron = relative charge = 0 relative mass = 1
In the atom the electron is the lightest.
No, it isn't. The mass of an electron is significantly smaller than that of a proton.The mass of 1,800 electrons is about the same as the mass of one single proton.The antiparticle of the electron, the positron, has the same mass as the electron.the mass of the electron is not the same to the mass of the proton
Proton - Relative Atomic Mass of 1, charge of 1. Neutron - Relative atomic mass of 1, charge of 0. Electron - Negligible mass (0), charge of -1.
An electron has a mass of approximately 0.0005 times the mass of a proton, while a neutron has a mass that is slightly greater than that of a proton.
The Relative Mass (Ar) of carbon is 12. The Relative mass can be found very easily, it is the top number of the electron in the periodic table.
LEAST mass? That would be photos or neutrinos, which have no mass at all. Where Least is greater than zero? Electrons, probably; an electron is 1/1836th of a proton, I seem to recall. Neutrinos actually have a small nonzero mass, so small it has yet to be determined. No neutrino has a mass of more than a few eV, the electron has a mass of about 0.5MeV.
The three subatomic particles of most interest to chemists are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge and a relative mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu), neutrons have no charge and a relative mass of about 1 amu, and electrons have a negative charge and negligible mass.
