Best Answer

The basic building blocks of the atom are neutrons, protons and electrons. Of these, the neutron is the more massive. But it's only a tiny bit more massive than the proton. This is a great place to begin to unlock the mysteries of the atom. A link to our friends at Wikipedia is provided.

No, to my knowledge, the electron is the lightest particle in an atom.

Relatively speaking, if the proton and electron both weighed one unit each, the electron would be 5*10^-4 (i.e. 0.0005)
