The charge of an electron is -1, and has a smaller mass of a proton. (For you Castle Learning users) :]

negative charge

An electron carries one fundamental unit of negative charge*, measured to be about 1.609 x 10-19 Coulombs.

(* The negative designation is a convention, established in the earliest experiments with electricity long before the existence of the electron was known.)

A proton has a +1 charge.

A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.

Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?

You misunderstand. A 'Neutron' by its name, is neutrally charged. There is NO charge. The charge of one electron is deemed to be 'minus one (-1). A PROTON is deemed to have a charge of 'plus one (+1)'. Hence the charges of one electron and one proton are equal and opposite. In nuclear physics these two charges are brought together to make a neutral species; a Neutron. +1 - 1 = 0 They do NOT spontaneously come together or split, in a chemical reaction.


Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?

No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
