1836 times the mass of an electron
So how do you calculate '1836 times the mass of a proton' ?
Mass of proton = 1.673 x 10-27 or (10 to the power of negative 27)
Mass of electron = 9.109 x 10-31 or (10 to the power of negative 31)
Simply by dividing the largest mass (of protons) by the smallest mass (electrons):
(1.67262 . 10-27) / (9.10939 . 10-31) = [1.67262 /9.10939] . [10(-27)-(-31)] =
0.1836 . 10+4 = 1836

In a hydrogen atom an electron revolves around a proton Which of these two exerts a greater electrostatic force on the other?
The proton exerts a greater electrostatic force on the electron in a hydrogen atom. This is because the proton has a much larger mass and positive charge compared to the much smaller mass and negative charge of the electron.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have similar masses, both being much larger than the electron.
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has a mass approximately equal to that of a proton, which is about 1,836 times the mass of an electron.
Why is mass of neutron and proton greater than mass of electron?
A proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged
Are electrons much smaller than protons and neutrons?
Yes, electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons. Electrons are fundamental particles with a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons which are made up of quarks. The mass of an electron is approximately 1/1836 times the mass of a proton or neutron.
How much greater is the mass of a proton and neutron than an electron?
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============

Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has a mass approximately equal to that of a proton, which is about 1,836 times the mass of an electron.
Why is mass of neutron and proton greater than mass of electron?
A proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged
Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
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.
If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
An electron has about how much of the mass of a neutron or proton?
About 1/1800.
Which has more mass-a proton or electron?
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!
Mass of electron compared to proton?
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times the mass of a proton. This means that electrons are much lighter than protons.
How do you calculate how much larger the mass of a proton is than the mass of an electron.If the proton's chage is 1 and the mass is 1.007316 and the electron's charge is -1and the mass is 0.000549?
Simple division. 1.007316/0.000549 = 1835 times as large in mass, proton over the electron -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the mass of an electron smaller than that of a proton?
yes much smaller
