I believe it is reversed with a electron being smaller its mass is 1/1840 or 0.05% of a proton's. In fact the mass is so small we ignore it in calculation in stiochiometry.

How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
Does a electron have a smaller mass than protons?
Absolutely; a proton weighs approximately 2000 times more than an electron.
How many protons and neutrons and electrons are in H?
There are 1 proton, 0 neutron and 1 electron in H1.
How many times greater is the mass of a proton than the mass of an electron?
1836 times the mass of an electronSo how do you calculate '1836 times the mass of a proton' ?Mass of proton = 1.673 x 10-27 or (10 to the power of negative 27)Mass of electron = 9.109 x 10-31 or (10 to the power of negative 31)Simply by dividing the largest mass (of protons) by the smallest mass (electrons):(1.67262 . 10-27) / (9.10939 . 10-31) = [1.67262 /9.10939] . [10(-27)-(-31)] =0.1836 . 10+4 = 1836
How many electrons can balance with the 1 proton?
One electron balances the charge on one proton. Their charges are equal and opposite.
Is the mass of an electron greater then the mass of a proton?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
Is the mass of a proton greater then the mass of a electron?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
Does a proton weigh more than an electron?
Yes. A protons is many times more massive than an electron.
How many times is proton heavier than electron?
The ratio of a proton's rest mass to an electron's rest mass is 1836.15267247:1. For more information, follow the link below.
Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
A proton. A proton has a mass of 1 a.m.u. while an electron has a mass of 1/1840 a.m.u.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
Does a electron have a smaller mass than protons?
Absolutely; a proton weighs approximately 2000 times more than an electron.
The electric charge of a photon is how many times stronger the charge of an electron?
The electric charges of the proton and electron are equal in magnitude (size, strength), and opposite in sign.
How many times larger is the radius of the electron cloud than the radius of the nucleus?
100,000 times
How many protons and neutrons and electrons are in H?
There are 1 proton, 0 neutron and 1 electron in H1.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in hydrogen?
Hydrogen - 1 proton, 1 electron Deuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutron 1 electron Tritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron
