Inaccurate statement as a hydrogen IS the proton. An atom is made up of the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the electrons. A Protium or Hydrogen-1 contains 1 proton and no neutrons, it however has 1 electron which makes up very little of the mass so you could say that. 1 electron is 1/1834 the mass of a proton. So hydrogen is ~ 1+ 5.4875×10^-4 amu

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.
Which particle is the lightest particale in the following 1. electon 2. neutron 3. proton 4. a-particles?
The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
Which has more mass-a proton or electron?
The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!
What particle has the same mass as a neutron?
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).
How many more times massive is a protons than an electron?
About 1836 times more massive.
Is the mass of an electron greater then the mass of a proton?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
Is the mass of a proton greater then the mass of a electron?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
Which has more massprotons or electron?
The mass of the proton is 1840 times more massive than an electron.
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.
Does a proton weigh more than an electron?
Yes. A protons is many times more massive than an electron.
Compared to a proton an electron has?
The same quantity of a charge and the opposite sign.
Is a proton the opposite of a electron?
No. The opposite of an electron is an antielectron or positron, which has exactly the same mass but opposite charge. A proton has opposite charge from that of an electron, but it is about 1836 times more massive.
How much more massive is a proton compared to a electron?
By sheer size, I would assume MUCH larger. But through weight, the proton is much heavier compared to an electron. On any element, the atomic number is the weight of the nuetrons and protons. The weight of electrons is so small and insignificant, it is usual not looked on at the highschool level. And has no effect on the molar mass.
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
Which particle is the lightest particale in the following 1. electon 2. neutron 3. proton 4. a-particles?
The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What is the neutral part of an atom that gives the atom more mass?
Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
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.
