The neutron has about the same mass as the proton, each has a mass a tiny amount greater than 1 AMU (Atomic Mass unit). The neutron is the smallest bit more massive.
The electron has a mass of just a bit over 5/10,000ths of an AMU. Extremely less massive in comparison, isn't it!
That mass is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron, which are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
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.
The acceleration of both the electron and proton in a uniform electric field is given by the equation a = F/m, where F is the force on the particle and m is the mass. The force on both particles in the electric field is the same, but the electron's mass is much smaller than the proton's mass, so the electron will have a much larger acceleration compared to the proton. The ratio of their accelerations is approximately equal to the ratio of their masses.
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
A positron, a neutron, a single proton, and a single electron are all considered to be equal in mass, however, a positron is generally referred to as an "anti-electron", as it travels at the velocity of light (like an electron), an has a positive charge (+1e, as opposed to an electron, which carries a negative charge, i.e: -1e).
The mass of a proton is equal to a neutron.
Neutron
The mass of proton is only approx. equal to 1 amu.
It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton. This is because the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a proton.
proton
The mass of neutron is similar to the mass of proton, but not equal !
A neutron has a mass approximately equal to that of a proton, which is about 1,836 times the mass of an electron.
The neutron is a subatomic particle that has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge.
1/1836 the mass of a proton
It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of one proton. This is because the mass of a proton is approximately 1836 times greater than that of an electron.
1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.
In charge, spin, and strangeness; they are exactly equal. In mass, it would take about 1836 electrons to equal a proton.
