No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg. (Neutron: 1.674927351 x 10-27, Proton: 1.672621777 x 10-27)

Why are protons and neutrons used in the subatomic particle?
Protons and neutrons provide the mass of an atom. Each different kind of element has a unique number of protons. For example: all hydrogen atoms have one proton. However, not all hydrogen atoms have the same mass. Some hydrogen atoms have no neutrons, one neutron, or two neutrons. Atoms of the same element (one proton) but different numbers of neutrons (different masses) are called isotopes of that element. All elements have isotopes. Some isotopes of elements are radioactive and are useful in medicine and energy applications (nuclear, for instance).
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
Is the mass of a proton half the mass of a electron?
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.
Are subatomic and little particles the same thing?
Atoms are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons (save hydrogen-1, which lacks any neutrons). Protons and neutrons are baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Having said that, the quark, which is a fundamental particle, is smaller than an atom by a great deal. Further, the quark is smaller than either a proton or neutron, as both are made of three quarks. The electron is a fundamental particle, and it is smaller still than a quark.When we look at the fundamental particles as they are described in the Standard Model, only the photon and gluon, which are force carriers, are smaller. It should be noted that the way we relate "smaller" in this case is by stating a mass-energy equivalence and describing the mass of the fundamental particles in terms of energy. Use the link below to see a chart of the sixteen particles that make up the three generations of matter.
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.
What is a particle with approximately the same mass as a proton?
A neutron has about the same mass as a proton.
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.
The subatomic particle with the posetive charge?
Generally it is the Proton, but there is now evidence of a positron-or a positive electron. Same mass, just positively charged.
Neutron?
A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen
What two subatomic participles have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
What two subatomic have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
Name the subatomic particles that the number of this particle is always the same as the atomic number?
The proton
What substance particle has no charge and about the same mass as a proton?
This particle is the neutron.
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 is the proton for xenon?
A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.
What is the particle with about same mass as the proton found in the nucleus?
Neutrons
What particle has about the same mass as the proton found in the nucleus?
The neutron.
