The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms, which is roughly 938 times the mass of an electron. The charge of a proton is positive and equal in magnitude to the charge of an electron, which is around 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.

How is the mass and charge of a proton best described?

A proton has a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit and a charge of +1 elementary charge.


A neutron has a negative charge and a mass smaller than the mass of a proton?

Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.


Which particale has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit and a unit positive charge?

The particle that fits this description is a proton. Protons have a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit and a unit positive charge.


Is the the mass and charge of electrons compare to that of protons?

The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.


A particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus is?

A proton is a particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus.


In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?

No, the charge to mass ratio value would not be the same if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have different charge and mass compared to electrons, so the ratio would vary. The charge to mass ratio is specific to each type of particle.


How do a proton and neutron compare?

The charge and mass number of a proton are?

No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.


Why is the charge to mass ratio of proton not constant?

The charge and mass ratio of proton is constant, the positive particles found during discharge tube experiment are nuclei of atoms which have different charge and mass ratio.


Is there an affect on the mass of an object with a negative charge?

If you compare the mass of a positron to an electron, or of a proton to an anti-proton, and so forth, the mass is the same, even though the charge is reversed. Negative charge does not mean negative mass, it has no bearing on the mass.

A proton has a positive electrical charge and is approximately 2000 times the mass of an electron.


Is a proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and no charge?

No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
