Protons have slightly less mass than Neutrons, and by slightly, it is a difference of 2x10-24 kg, ie, 24 zeroes after the decimal point. The difference is so miniscule, that they are considered to weigh the same for most intents and purposes.
Of the neutron, proton, and electron, the electron has the smallest mass.
Of those three the electron is the least massive.
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
The mass number is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes that are found in nature.
Mass number!:)
No actually, the neutrons and the protons of an atom are relatively the same in mass. Electrons have the smallest mass in an atom, and are not even considered when we look at the mas sof an atom.
The number of protons
The sum of all protons and neutrons - Apex Learning
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
Mass number = Protons+Neutrons
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
