Protons are in the nucleus of an atom while electrons are in the electron cloud. Electrons can also travel to other atoms and are very fast moving. Protons are very large whereas electrons are 2,000 times smaller than protons.

  • Proton mass is about 1836 times electron mass.
  • Proton charge is positive, electron charge is negative.
  • Proton is hadron, electron is lepton.
  • Proton contains 3 quarks (UUD), electron contains no quarks.
  • Proton responds to strong force, electron does not.
  • Proton is usually in nucleus, electron is usually in orbitals far from nucleus.
