Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?

The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.


How much greater is the mass of a proton and neutron than an electron?

1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============


Do protons nuetrons and electrons have the same mass?

um if i remember correctly an electron has 1840 times less mass than a proton and an electron + a proton makes a neutron so a neutron is one 1840th more hevyer than a proton :P esther says: that is rude so the correct answer is no


How much do neutrons contribute to the total mass of an atom?

The exact contribution varies from atom to atom, since different atoms have different numbers of neutrons. However, in a simple system of one proton, one electron, and one neutron (called a deuterium atom), the neutron contributes roughly as much as the proton does, since its mass is almost (but not quite; the neutron is heavier) equal to that of the proton. To be precise, as listed at http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen01/gen01078.htm, Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg


Mass of a proton is much greater than the mass of a neutron?

No. The mass of a proton (1.672622 x 10-27 kg) is only slightly less than the mass of a neutron (1.674927 x 10-27 kg).

Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?

A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.


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?

Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.


Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?

the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.

Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?

an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.


Is a neutron heavier than an electron?

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


What is smallest atom neutron electron or ion?

The electron has the least mass of the three mentioned. That's why the valance electrons are the determining factor in most reactions. The proton closely follows the neutron because they are exactly the same except for charge. This leaves the the electron as the lightest sub-atomic particle.


How much heavier is a proton than a electron?

Electrons are lighter than proton Electrons are elementary particles, and just happen to be among the lightest of them all. Protons and neutrons are not elementary (they consist of quarks and gluons) and just happen to be heavierer

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!
