They are both particles in an atom
What else can I help you with?
What do an electron and a neutron have in common?
Both an electron and a neutron are subatomic particles found in an atom. They both have a negative charge, but a neutron has no charge.
Do a neutron and an electron have approximately the same mass?
No, a neutron is about 1836 times the mass of an electron
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.
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.
What are the three most common subatomic particles?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron.
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.
How does the mass of neutron compare to the mass of an electron?
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.

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.
What Has approximately 1. 1840th the mass of a neutron?
An electron has approximately 1/1840th the mass of a neutron.
What subatomic particles are closest in mass proton and neutron neutron and electron proton and electron electron and ion?
Mg+2 and Br-1
