During the early period of chemistry, the word caloric would refer to as a self-repellant fluid. It can be proved by the caloric theory. The caloric theory is an obsolete scientific theory that heat consists of a self-repellent fluid called caloric that flows from hotter bodies to colder bodies.

Where is the mass of an atom found

Virty [35]

Answer:

The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.

Explanation:

An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.

Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.

To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.
