No, a neutron is much more massive.
Yes, a neutron has more mass than a proton or electron.
Yes, the mass of an electron is roughly 1835 times less
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
Yes, electrons have a mass, as everything has mass. However, an electron's mass is so small that it is considered to be 0.
yes the mass of an electron is much tinnier fraction of the mass of an atom
In beta decay, the nucleus of the atom emits an electron. This is a new electron, not one of the electrons in the electron cloud. This does indeed have the effect of changing a neutron into a proton, because total charge has to be conserved - if a new negative thing exists, there has to be a new positive thing too. But the mass has to stay the same too - conveniently, protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
They are very close but the neutron has slightly greater mass. The masses are as follows: Proton: 1,6726 X 10-27 kg Neutron: 1,6749 X 10-27 kg The proton is about .13% smaller than the neutron Another good way to think about it is that the masses equate this way: Mass of 1 Proton + Mass of 1 electron approximately = Mass of 1 neutron See the related links for further information.
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles, but have almost no mass. The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 that of a proton or neutron. The neutron is the most massive of the subatomic particles at 1.6755 x 10-24 grams.
Yes. The electron is the smallest whole particle.
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.
No, neutrons have a neutral charge and electrons have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge.
