Question

Which of the following is ignored when determining the relative mass of atoms?

protons

nucleus

electrons.

neutrons

Answer 1

nucleus I believe.

Answer 2

ok! thanks

Answer 3

@Abhisar is it nucleus

Answer 4

Well you use the atomic number which is the amount of protons and electrons of an element. And to find the neutrons you subtract the atomic mass to the atomic number to get the atomic mass so I suppose nucleus is ignored since it is not being used.

Answer 5

yes I think that too

Answer 6

to get the neutrons*, not atomic mass. sorry

Answer 7

wait so it isn't nucleus

Answer 8

@Mateaus

Answer 9

Electrons have very negligible mass,, thusa they are ignored

Answer 10

Atomic mass = mass of neutrons + mass of protons

Answer 11

Got it ?

Answer 12

yes electrons

Answer 13

How does the nucleus help in determining the atomic mass?

Answer 14

Nucleus = Neutrons + Protons

Answer 15

@Mateaus is it clear ?

Answer 16

@Abhisar Yes, thanks you.
