It's not. There are many particles lighter than electrons. As to why electrons have the mass they do... the first person to figure that out goes on the short list for a free trip to Sweden and a nice medal.
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
Proton is a positive particle and electron is a negative particle.
Electron is a negative sub atomic particle which revolves round the nucleus.
An electron is a negative fundamental particle.
This particle was the electron discovered in 1897 by Joseph John Thomson.
The lightest subatomic particle is the electron.
The electron is the lightest particle in the atom.
The lightest particle in the atom is the electron.
In the atom the electron is the lightest.
Electron, lightest stable subatomic particle known. It carries a negative charge, which is considered the basic unit of electric charge. The rest mass of the electron is 9.109 × 10−31 kg, which is only 1/1,840the mass of a proton. An electron is therefore considered nearly massless in comparison with a proton or a neutron, and the electron mass is not included in calculating the mass number of an atom.
The electron is the subatomic particle with the least mass. It has a mass of about 1/1836 of a proton or neutron.
The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
electrons the smallest but weigh as much as protons neutrons weigh nothing ~Kay
The lightest subatomic particle is the electron.
Electron is the lightest.
The lightest known subatomic particle is the neutrino. Neutrinos have very small or even zero mass, making them incredibly light. They are electrically neutral and interact very weakly with other particles, making them difficult to detect.
The subatomic particle with a negative charge is the electron.
