Is the mass number equal to the number of protons and electrons?
No, it isn't. The mass of an electron is significantly smaller than that of a proton.The mass of 1,800 electrons is about the same as the mass of one single proton.The antiparticle of the electron, the positron, has the same mass as the electron.the mass of the electron is not the same to the mass of the proton
Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?
Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

Why is mass of neutron and proton greater than mass of electron?
A proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged
Is an electron bigger than a proton?
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
Are protons smaller than neutrons and electrons?
Yes, they are. A mass of electron is approximately 1 / 1836 of the mass of proton.

Is a proton larger or smaller than an electron?
Protons have a larger mass, but it is unclear which (if either) have a larger radius. The electron does not seem to have ANY measurable radius.
Is protons smaller than a electron?
Electrons are smallest
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a whole atom?
yes the mass of an electron is much tinnier fraction of the mass of an atom
What is the same about protons and electrons?
No, they are completely different. A proton is much larger than and electron and carries a positive charge. Protons can be divided into smaller particles called quarks. An electron is tiny compared to a proton and carries a negative charge. Electrons are fundamental particles, meaning they cannot be divided into smaller particles.
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.
Do protons and Electrons have about the same mass?
No. Protons have about 1836 times the mass of an electron.
Have about 1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons?
Electrons have ~1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons
Why don't we use the mass of the electron to get the atomic mass of an element?
The number of electrons are variable for an element because electrons can be lost or gained. Additionally, the mass of an electron is so much smaller than the mass of neutrons and protons that it can be considered negligible for most purposes.
How does mass of an electron compare to a proton?
The mass of a proton is 2000 times the mass of an electron. Mass of electron: 9.10938 * 10-31 kg Mass of proton: 1.67262 * 10-27 kg Mass of neutron: 1.67493 * 10-27 kg Note that protons and neutrons weigh approximately the same (neutrons are slightly heavier), but electrons are MUCH lighter than both of them. The MASS of the electron is much smaller than neutrons and protons. It is common, but incorrect, to use mass and weight interchangeably. They are not synonymous.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
