Mass of a proton is much greater than the mass of a neutron?

No. The mass of a proton (1.672622 x 10-27 kg) is only slightly less than the mass of a neutron (1.674927 x 10-27 kg).


What is a neutron in an atom?

The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.


What subtomic particle has the same mass as a proton?

Commonly considered to be a neutron. However the true mass of a neutron is slightly higher than the combined mass of a proton and an electron.


Would a electron have far less mass than a proton or a neutron?

Yes, the mass of an electron is roughly 1835 times less


The most massive particle in an atom is the?

The neutron has slightly more mass than a proton. Both are usually rounded off to a mass of 1 amu but the neutron is just a little heavier (about 1/1800 th heavier)

How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?

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.

Are the mass of all the electrons of an atom less than the mass of one neutron?

Yes, it is absolutely true.


Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?

the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.


What particle has the same mass as a neutron?

A positron, a neutron, a single proton, and a single electron are all considered to be equal in mass, however, a positron is generally referred to as an "anti-electron", as it travels at the velocity of light (like an electron), an has a positive charge (+1e, as opposed to an electron, which carries a negative charge, i.e: -1e).


Can a neutron star become a nebula?

No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.
