The mass of a proton and neutron are pretty close. So the ratio will be roughly 1 to 1 (or 1:1). The neutron is heavier and if memory serves it is exactly the mass of an electron heavier than a proton. Note it takes around 1820 electron to equal the mass of one proton.

Dunno, but the ratio of the mass of a proton to the mass of what prople think of as being an electron is approx 1980. I'd check that if I were you though. Probably OK to +- 5%.

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.

Mass number in chemistry is the number of nucleons in the nucleus. Nucleon is the common name for proton and neutron. In case of Sodium atom the mass number is 23. If it gets changed by adding one more neutron then it is an isotope which is used in medical field as a radio isotope to study about the blood flow.
