2) Protons and neutrons weigh `1/(6xx10^23)` grams
Every, and we mean every proton and neutron =1
6 x 1023 grams
An amazingly small number.
Remember this:
1 proton = 1
6 x 1023grams
and
1 neutron = 1
6 x 1023 grams
This is true, whatever the element, atom or molecule.
Examples
The weight of 1 mole of any proton = 6 x 1023 x 1
6 x 1023 grams
= 6 x 1023 x 1
6 x 1023 grams
= 1 gram
The weight of 1 mole of any neutron = 6 x 1023 x 1
6 x 1023 grams
= 6 x 1023 x 1
6 x 1023 grams
= 1 gram
That’s correct: the weight of any mole of protons or neutrons = 1 gram
WOW!
