A proton is bigger than electron
A proton is bigger than electron
They have opposite charges.
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.
Both are atomic particles; proton is positive and electron is negative. Electron is very small by comparation with a a proton.
Compared to a proton, an electron has a much smaller mass (approximately 1/1836 times the mass of a proton) and a negative charge. Electrons are located outside the nucleus of an atom, while protons are found within the nucleus.
Mass of electron is about 1837 times less than the mass of proton
The electron has very little mass compared to the proton or neutron.
Since the volume of a proton is significantly larger than the volume of an electron, the density of a proton will be much lower compared to the density of an electron. Densities are calculated by mass/volume, so with protons being much heavier than electrons, the lower volume of protons will result in a lower density compared to electrons.
The neutron is the largest of the particles mentioned. Compared to the proton, it has an additional weight of 1.293 MeV.
