Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom (along with positively charged protons). Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
The mass of neutron is 1 amu and the mass of electron is about 1837 times less than that of neutron.

How does an electron differ from a neutron?
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
How does electron differ from a neutro?
An electron bears a negative charge, a neutron has no charge.A neutron is about 2,000 times as massive as an electron.Neutrons exist in atomic nuclei, electrons orbit nuclei.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
Do a neutron and an electron have approximately the same mass?
No, a neutron is about 1836 times the mass of an electron

What are the charges on the pronton electron and neutron?
The proton has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge. And the neutron has a no charge.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
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.

How does the electrons differ from the atomic particles?
It really depends what particle you are comparing it to. Compared with the neutron and proton: The electron has a much smaller mass - roughly 2000 times smaller than the neutron or proton. As far as we know, the electron is a truly elementary particle. Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles (the quarks). The electron has a negative charge, the proton a positive charge, and the neutron is electrically neutral.
