Protons are made up of Subatomic Particles, in this case a Proton Atom is made up of two Up quarks, and one Down quark. The mass of an Up Quark is 2.4 MeV/c2 and the mass of a Down quark is 4.8 MeV/c2. Electrons are still in the Subatomic Particle Table, an Electron is a type of Lepton. An Electron's mass 0.511 MeV/c2 which is a lot less than a Proton, even less than a Up quark itself (the lightest quark). In most cases when talking about Atoms and their mass Electrons don't normally have an effect on their mass, only the Neutrons and Protons in the Atom.
This should answer the Question.

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.
What is the difference between the three subatomic particles?
The main differences are proton and neutron are in the nucleus, electrons are outside of the nucleus. The weight of an electron is between a hundred and a thousand times less of that of a proton and neutron and the charge on a proton is positive, neutron is neutral and electron is negative
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).
Particles with the smallest mass?
The proton is slightly less massive than the neutron, and the electron is many, many times less massive than either of them. That makes the electron the smallest of the "standard" particles that make up atoms. There are many smaller particles in what is called the particle zoo, but it is hard to sort them out as they are all uniformly unstable and disappear in very short periods of time. The electron is the least massive of the stable subatomic particles that make up the nucleus.Note: We added the last part because the neutron is not stable outside the nucleus of the atoms that it makes up. But of the "big three" particles that are the building blocks of the atom, the neutron, proton and electron, the electron is smallest. It's less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton.
What is the mass location and charge of atomic subparticles?
Well, the proton is positive and weighs 1AU and the Neutron has a neutral charge and also weighs 1AU while the Electrons weigh less than an AU and are negative. The proton and neutron are in the nucleus and the leectrons hover around the nucleus in eliptical patterns.
Which has less electric charge ion electron neutron or proton?
A neutron, which has neutral charge
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of the neutron?
The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.

Would a electron have far less mass than a proton or a neutron?
Yes, the mass of an electron is roughly 1835 times less
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.
Which weighs more proton neutron electron?
A Neutron weighs more than a proton. Than an electron. A Neutron weighs the most, and an electron weighs the least. A proton is in the middle. Although there are these three sub atomic particles, an atom is made up of 99 percent empty space! But from greatest to least in mass, it goes neutron, proton, then electron!
Why isnt the mass of the electron included in the mass of an atom on the periodic table?
the mass of electron is very less compared to that of a proton or a neutron it is 1/1800 the mass of 1 proton and therefore it is negligible and not included.

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).
A postively charged particle in an atom?
The positively charged particle in an atom is the proton. The negatively charged particle is the electron. The electrically neutral particle is the neutron.
What is the product of electron capture decay of xenon isotope 129xe?
Interestly, a neutron is a proton + an electron. So, when an atom captures an electron, one of its protons becomes a neutron. Now it has 1 more neutron, but 1 less proton; making the it an atom of the element with atomic number 1 less than the original atom. The total number of protons and neutrons remains the same. Xe- 129 + e-1 = I- 129
