Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.

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.
How do the masses of the protons and the neutrons compare to the mass of the electrons?
If we give them relative numbers, the proton has a mass of 1.0073, the neutron has 1.0087 and the electron has 5.486 X 10 to negative 4.
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).
Which has a subatomic particle of a mass of 1.67 times 10-27 kg?
The proton and the neutron have mass each of one atomic mass unit. Actually they are not quite the same, but they are very close.
What two subatomic substances have a mass of about 1 amu?
The proton an neutron both have a mass of about 1 amu. (Both have a mass just slightly above 1 amu, and the neutron's mass is slightly larger than that of a proton.)
How does the mass of a electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How does the mass of a proton compare to the mass of a neutron and an electron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How do a proton and neutron compare?
they have adout the same mass
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of the neutron?
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.

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.
How does mass of an electron compare to the mass of protons and neutrons?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
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.
What is the mass of an electron compared to the mass of a proton or neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How do the masses of one electron compare to the masses of protons and neutrons?
mass of electron = 1/1836 mass of proton (or neutron)
What is equal to mass of a proton?
The mass of a proton is equal to a neutron.
How does the mass of the neutron compare with the mass of the proton?
The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton. The neutron has no electric charge while the proton has a positive charge (+1 elementary charge). The mass of a neutron and a proton are 1.67492729(28)×10−27 kilograms and 1.672621637(83)×10−27 kilograms respectively. That makes the neutron about 25/10,000ths more massive than the proton.
