A neutron is actually heavier than a proton because a neutron is made up of a proton + an electron + subatomic particles. The relative masses are: * Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg * Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg * Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg
A proton is about 1836 times as massive as an electron.

The neutron is heavier by far than the electron. It takes over 1800 electrons to make the mass of an neutron. Recall that the proton is about 1836 times the mass of an individual electron, and the neutron is slightly more massive than the proton.
Yes, a neutron is heavier than an electron. A neutron has a mass of approximately 1.675 x 10^-27 kg, while an electron has a much lighter mass of approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kg.
The mass of a neutron is given as 1 unit, while that of an electron is approximately 1/1840. An estimated difference in mass would be 1840 times.
Yes, a neutron has a mass of one Atomic Mass unit, while an electron has a mass of a fraction of an atomic mass unit.
About 4 times as much. An alpha particle (a.k.a. helium-4 nucleus) consists of two neutrons and two protons; protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass.
The proton's rest-mass is 1,848 times the rest-mass of the electron.
Their weights have to be in the same ratio.

If the electron in a hydrogen atom were the size and weight of a golf ball what would be the size and weight of the proton and neutron and what would be the orbital diameters of the electron and neutr?
If the electron were the size and weight of a golf ball, the proton and neutron would be significantly larger and heavier. The proton and neutron are about 2000 times heavier than the electron. The orbital diameter of the electron in a hydrogen atom is typically on the scale of nanometers (10^-9 meters), while the orbital diameter of the neutrino is incredibly small, on the order of 10^-18 meters.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
An electron has a mass of approximately 0.0005 times the mass of a proton, while a neutron has a mass that is slightly greater than that of a proton.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have similar masses, both being much larger than the electron.
What is smallest atom neutron electron or ion?
The electron is the smallest of these entities, being a subatomic particle with a mass much smaller than that of a neutron or an ion. Neutrons and ions are composed of multiple subatomic particles and have greater mass compared to electrons.
Which is smallest in size - atom or electron?
An electron is much smaller in size than an atom. An atom consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. The size of an electron is much smaller compared to the entire atom.
Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
Why is most mass of the atom is in the nucleus?
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
What is the ratio of a proton to the mass of a neutron?
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.
Is Most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus?
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
Is the electron or the neutron or the proton lighter?
The electron, the neutron and the proton are the building blocks of the atom. And of the three, the electron is far and away the lightest. The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, and either particle is over 1800 times more massive than our little electron.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Is an electron bigger or smaller than a neutron?
Smaller than a neutron
How much alpha particle is heavier than neutron?
An alpha particle is roughly 3,700 times heavier than a neutron. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons bonded together, while a neutron is a fundamental particle with nearly the same mass as a proton.
Is a neutron bigger than a electron?
Yes. The electron is the smallest whole particle.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a whole atom?
yes the mass of an electron is much tinnier fraction of the mass of an atom
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.
If the electron in a hydrogen atom were the size and weight of a golf ball what would be the size and weight of the proton and neutron and what would be the orbital diameters of the electron and neutr?
If the electron were the size and weight of a golf ball, the proton and neutron would be significantly larger and heavier. The proton and neutron are about 2000 times heavier than the electron. The orbital diameter of the electron in a hydrogen atom is typically on the scale of nanometers (10^-9 meters), while the orbital diameter of the neutrino is incredibly small, on the order of 10^-18 meters.
