No. The mass of a neutron is far, far, far greater than the mass of an electron. In fact, the mass of a neutron is approximately about 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron.
The particle that has exactly the same mass as an electron is its antiparticle, the positron.

∙ 11y agoThe mass of a Proton is certainly not half the mass of an Electron. A Proton's mass is a lot more than an Electrons. A Protons mass is around 908 MeV/c2, whilst an Electrons mass is 0.511 MeV/c2.
This should answer the Question.

∙ 9y agoThe theoretical rest mass on an electron is about 1/1800th of the rest mass of a proton. This corresponds to about 0.51 million electron volts, or about 9.1x10^-28 grams.
The rest mass is theoretical, because there is no such thing as a stationary electron, so the rest mass must be inferred from measurements taken on moving electrons.

∙ 9y agoThe Atomic Mass is the sum of protons and neutrons masses which are preponderant; the contribution of electrons is minimal but not zero.

∙ 11y agoThe mass of a neutron is close to the sum of the mass of a proton plus an electron, but as an electron is only about 1/1800 the mass of a proton this was tricky to measure.

Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
A proton. A proton has a mass of 1 a.m.u. while an electron has a mass of 1/1840 a.m.u.
Is mass of electron nearly 1840 times less the mass of proton?
Electron is the lightest sub atomic particle it is 1836 times less than as that of the mass of the proton it's mass is 9.1*10-31kg
Compare the mass of an electron to a proton.?
Electrons weigh in at about 9.1 x 10^-28 grams and protons about 1.67 x 10^-24 grams, making the proton about 1,837 times heavier than the electron. This is roughly about the same weight of a rabbit compared to an elephant.
A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?
True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.
What is the average mass of a proton or a neutron?
The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67*10-27 kg. The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11*10-31 kg. 1.67*10-27 kg / 9.11*10-31 kg = 1833 A proton is about 1833 times heavier than an electron.
An electron has a greater mass than a proton?
the mass of an electron is actually about 1800 times lessthan a proton.
How does the mass of an electron compared to the mass of proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of electron compare to the mass of the proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of proton?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
How does the mass of a proton compared to the mass of the electron?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
Does an electron have a mass greater than a proton?
an electron has way less mass than a proton.
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
