electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the Periodic Table

How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of 1 proton?

It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton. This is because the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a proton.


How many electrons equal the mass of one Proton?

1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.


How may electrons equal one proton?

In charge, spin, and strangeness; they are exactly equal. In mass, it would take about 1836 electrons to equal a proton.


How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of one neutron?

One neutron is approximately equal in mass to one proton. Since an electron is much smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton, it would take a large number of electrons to equal the mass of one neutron.


Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?

A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.


How much electrons equal to one protons?

In the quantity of the electrical charge, the electron and the proton contain equal but opposite charges. In terms of mass, the proton is about equal in mass to 1876 electrons.


What is equal to mass of a proton?

The mass of a proton is equal to a neutron.


Does the proton the same mass as the electrons?

No, the proton's mass is roughly 2000 times that of the electron.


Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?

The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.


What has mass that is about equal to the mass of a proton?

Neutron


How many electrons in one proton?

Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron. To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.


How does the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of electrons?

The mass of a nucleus varies according to the atomic number (ie according to what element it is). For hydrogen , the simplest nucleus, the combined mass of the one proton and the one neutron would be equal in mass to 3672 electrons.
