There is no simple answer.
The mass of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The number of protons in the nucleus depends on the element. Moreover, the number of neutrons can vary between isotopes of the same element.

How does the mass of a nucleus compare to a electron?
The mass of a neutron is approx 1837 times that of an electron. The mass of a proton is similar to that of a neutron. In the simplest atom, hydrogen, the mass of the nucleus is 1,837 times that of an electron. In the largest known atom, that of ununoctium, containing 281 baryons (neutrons or protons) the mass of the nucleus is approx 516,200 times that of an electron. So take your pick: 1,837 to 516,200.
How does the mass of the nucleus compared to mass of an electron?
The mass of a nucleus varies according to the atomic number (ie according to what element it is). For hydrogen , the simplest nucleus, the combined mass of the one proton and the one neutron would be equal in mass to 3672 electrons.
What series lists in order from smallest to greatest mass?
Electron, proton, nucleus, atom
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a nucleon?
The vast majority of mass in an element is located in the nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons. Electrons are considered to have almost no mass, although that they exist at all would imply that they must in fact have some mass.
What is atomic mass of carbon fourteen?
slightly more than 14, carbon 12 has an atomic mass of 12 by definition, so 1 atomic mass = the sum of the mass of a proton neutron and electron divided by 2 neutrons are slightly heavier than the combined mass of an electron and proton carbon 14 has a higher percentage neutrons than carbon 12 so it is heavier relative to the number of particles in it's nucleus(14)
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Which has more mass nucleus or electron cloud?
The nucleus by far.
How does the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of the Atom?
The mass of the nucleus makes up most all of the mass of an atom. The only things outside the nucleus are the electrons. The mass of an electron is ~9.11E-31 kg. The mass of an electron is 1/1836 that of a proton.
How do the ways in which the mass and the charge of an atom are distributed differ?
IF it donates an electron -then atom gains positive charge and if it accepts an electron then it acquires negative charge. the mass of an atom is dependent on protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons decide the charge of an atom

Why is the magnetic moment of a nucleus smaller than the magnetic moment of an electron?
Because the charge/mass ratio of a nucleus is smaller than the charge/mass ratio of an electron
How does an electron differ from neutron?
Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom (along with positively charged protons). Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom. The mass of neutron is 1 amu and the mass of electron is about 1837 times less than that of neutron.
who particle has greatest mass electron proton neutron or hydrogen nucleus?
hydrgen nucleus

How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Why do you only include the mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
The mass of protons and nuetrons make up the nucleus. The electrons are outside the nucleus in the electron cloud. Electrons have virtually no mass and are similar to a wave form.
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
