Mass of an electron = 9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
Mass of a proton = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

∴ mass of a proton/mass of an electron = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg/9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
                                                               ~1836

∴ mass of a proton = 1836 x mass of an electron.
∴ mass of an electron is insignificant to the mass of an atom.

∴mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

The mass of an electron is <u>C. not significant to the overall mass of the atom</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons

The charge of 1 proton is equal to a charge of 1 electron but has a different sign

The proton is positively charged (+1), the electron is negatively charged (-1). and neutrons not charged (neutral)

For a charge of 1 electron = e = 1.66.10⁻¹⁹ coulomb

Whereas the neutron charge = 0

The mass of this basic particle is expressed in atomic mass units  

This atomic unit uses the standard atomic mass, that is, the C-12 isotope

1 atom C-12 = 12 atomic mass units

1 atomic mass unit = 1/12 x 1 C-12 atomic mass

The hydrogen atom is the lightest atom whose mass is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg (measured using a mass spectrometer) and simplified to 1 amu (atomic mass unit).

1 amu = 1,66.10⁻²⁴ grams

The mass of each basic particle in atomic mass units is:

  • electron mass = 9.11.10⁻²⁸
  • proton mass = 1.6726.10⁻²⁴
  • neutron mass = 1,675.10⁻²⁴

The proton mass is considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit and a neutron which is also considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit

 

So if we look at the numbers above, it shows that the electron mass is smaller than the proton mass and neutron mass, and not significant to the overall mass of the atom

How do power plants generate electricity?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

The speed of sound at temperature of________in the air is 360m/s.​
Aleks04 [339]

Vo= 331+0.6T

360=331+0.6T

360-331=0.6T

29=0.6T

0.6T/29

T=6/290 so change it to simplest form and us formulas good luck
