About 1/1800.
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.
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
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
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
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).

A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
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.
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.

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
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.
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

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!
