How does the mass of a protron compare to the mass of the electron?

Answer 1

The mass of a proton is 2000 times the mass of an electron.

Mass of electron: 9.10938 * 10-31 kg

Mass of proton: 1.67262 * 10-27 kg

Mass of neutron: 1.67493 * 10-27 kg

Note that protons and neutrons weigh approximately the same (neutrons are slightly heavier), but electrons are MUCH lighter than both of them.

The MASS of the electron is much smaller than neutrons and protons. It is common, but incorrect, to use mass and weight interchangeably. They are not synonymous.

Answer 2

For all intents and purposes, the electron is virtually massless, particularly when compared to protons and neutrons, which are the primary constituent particles responsible for the mass of an atom. The contribution of electrons to the mass of an atom is negligible. 2000 times as heavy as an electron

A proton is: 1.672 621 637 x 10-27 kg

and an electron: 9.109 382 15 x 10-31 kg

So a proton is more than 1800 times heavier.

Answer 4

The mass of a proton is approximately 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron. A proton has a mass of about 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms, while an electron has a mass of about 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms.

Answer 5

mass of a proton is 1 A.M.U

A.M.U stands for Atomic Mass Unit

mass of electron is around 1/1387 A.M.U

so it is fairly negligible

Answer 6

a proton has a mass of 1. an electron has a mass of 1/1860 or approximately 1/2000 Thus, a proton weights approximately 2000 times more than an electron.

Answer 7

The mass of a proton is 1.6726 x 10-24 grams. The mass of an electron is 1/1836 that of the proton (ie the mass of 1836 electrons = mass of 1 proton)

Answer 8

The mass of an electron is about 1822 times less than that of a proton.

Answer 9

Electron has a very low mass than a proton. Protons have a positive charge.
