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
A proton is about 1836 times as massive as an electron.

The neutron is heavier by far than the electron. It takes over 1800 electrons to make the mass of an neutron. Recall that the proton is about 1836 times the mass of an individual electron, and the neutron is slightly more massive than the proton.
The mass of a neutron is given as 1 unit, while that of an electron is approximately 1/1840. An estimated difference in mass would be 1840 times.
Yes, a neutron has a mass of one Atomic Mass unit, while an electron has a mass of a fraction of an atomic mass unit.
About 4 times as much. An alpha particle (a.k.a. helium-4 nucleus) consists of two neutrons and two protons; protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass.
The proton's rest-mass is 1,848 times the rest-mass of the electron.
Their weights have to be in the same ratio.

If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
An Atom contains both Protons & Electrons, and sometimes even Neutrons. An Electron is about 1/1840th the mass of a Proton or a Neutron, so Atoms are definitely much heavier.
Electron
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
The mass of a proton and neutron are pretty close. So the ratio will be roughly 1 to 1 (or 1:1). The neutron is heavier and if memory serves it is exactly the mass of an electron heavier than a proton. Note it takes around 1820 electron to equal the mass of one proton.
Because proton and neutron are in about one thousand times heavier than electron.
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Smaller than a neutron
The electron, the neutron and the proton are the building blocks of the atom. And of the three, the electron is far and away the lightest. The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, and either particle is over 1800 times more massive than our little electron.
You may be referring to neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutron is heavier than the proton, but the difference is more like two electrons than one.
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.
Yes. The electron is the smallest whole particle.
yes the mass of an electron is much tinnier fraction of the mass of an atom
The two are related, yes, but technically it would be more accurate to say it the other way around: "Neutrons are heavier than protons because down quarks are heavier than up quarks" Neutrons are composed of an up quark and two down quarks (udd). Protons are composed of two up quarks and one down quark (uud), so the difference in mass between a proton and neutron is (roughly) the same as the difference in mass between the neutron's down quark and the proton's matching up quark. Because a down quark is heavier than an up quark, it is also possible for a down quark to decay into an up quark (releasing an electron in the process). This is how beta radiation occurs in atomic nuclei. One of the neutrons' down quarks decays into an up quark, changing that neutron into a proton, and releasing an electron (as radiation), so another way to look at it would be that a down quark is an up quark that has an electron trapped inside it (the mass of the electron, plus the energy required to "trap" it there, is what makes the down quark heavier).
meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton
