Do particles all have the same mass?

All protons have the same exact mass as every other proton. For particles like the Higgs boson, this isn’t true. If you take any stable quantum particle, like an electron, you’ll find that it shares a certain set of properties in common with all the particles that are like it.

What particles have the same mass and size?

The two subatomic particles that have the same mass are protons and neutrons.

What two particles are the same size?

protons and neutrons. Have mass approximately 1.67 x 10^(-24) grams.

Are all fundamental particles the same?

All elementary particles of a particular type, e.g. all electrons, are excitations of the same quantum field, and are all identical and indistinguishable.

Why do different particles have different masses?

The property of mass that almost every particle possesses comes from the Higgs Field. It is this field, which permeates all of space, that particles interact with and hence obtain mass.

Which of the following particle pairs has approximately the same mass?

Protons
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but they are both much more massive than electrons (approximately 2,000 times as massive as an electron). The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.

Are all protons the same size?

Was hoping one of you all knew the answer. All protons are exactly the same. This includes their size. Electrons probably don’t have a size, but if they do, they all have the same size.

Which 2 particles have similar mass and make up about 99\% of the mass?

The nucular particles: protons and neutrons .

Is the mass of electron equal to the mass of neutron?

The mass of protons and neutrons are approximately same,and it is about 1.67 × 10-24 grams. and it is equal to one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton. and the mass of an electron is only about 1/2000 the mass of a proton or neutron.

How are the masses of the subatomic particles differ from each other?

With regard to mass, protons and neutrons are very similar, and have a much greater mass than electrons. Compared with neutrons and protons, the mass of an electron is usually negligible. Spin is associated with the rotation of a particle. Protons, neutrons, and electrons each have a total spin of 1/2.

What is the difference between fundamental particles and elementary particles?

The key difference between fundamental particles and elementary particles is that fundamental particles are quarks which are a fundamental constituent of matter whereas elementary particles are the smallest known building blocks of the universe.

Do elementary particles have mass?

Except for masless photons and gluons, “all elementary particles get their masses from their interactions with the [Higgs] field, kind of like being ‘slowed down’ by passing through a thick syrup,” explained James Overduin, a physicist at Towson University in Maryland.

What is the difference between identical particles and identical quantum particles?

Identical classical particles still have different trajectories, whereas identical quantum particles do not have different trajectories. This quantum notion of identical particles is built into the formalism by specifying a symmetry or anti-symmetry of the quantum wave function.

Are all atoms of the same material the same size?

Presumably not. Colm – So Les all atoms of the same material are the same size but different items of different materials are different sizes. So for instance the single smallest item is hydrogen and a single hydrogen is about one twentieth of a nanometre across.

What is the difference between mass and size in physics?

Mass is basically “how much matter an object contains”. Size is usually a term that refers to either length, area or volume (i.e. how big an object is). Two spheres of the same size can have very different mass. For example a sphere of ice and a sphere of lead.

What is the difference between mass and volume?

Mass is the amount of matter consisted by an object. In general volume is related to mass, not size. That is, an object that is twice the size will be 8 times the volume. He is Dutch, so maybe the issue is the word Mass.
