1836 times the mass of an electron
So 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

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.
In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?
Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
Are electrons much smaller than protons and neutrons?
Within a Neutron there are two Down quarks and one Up quark. Within a Proton there are two Up quarks and one Down quark. You can not break a Electron down any further as it is a Subatomic Particle itself. Now a Up quark's mass is 2.4 MeV/c2, whilst a Down quark's mass is 4.8 MeV/c2. By using this information we can see that a Neutron has a greater mass than a Proton. Electrons have very little mass (0.511 MeV/c2). So to conclude a Neutron has a greater mass of a Proton, and a Proton has a greater mass of an Electron. This should answer the Question.
Compared to a proton an electron has?
The same quantity of a charge and the opposite sign.
How much greater is the mass of a proton and neutron than an electron?
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or 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.
If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
An electron has about how much of the mass of a neutron or proton?
About 1/1800.
In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?
Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.
How do you calculate how much larger the mass of a proton is than the mass of an electron.If the proton's chage is 1 and the mass is 1.007316 and the electron's charge is -1and the mass is 0.000549?
Simple division. 1.007316/0.000549 = 1835 times as large in mass, proton over the electron -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the mass of an electron smaller than that of a proton?
yes much smaller
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
How does the mass of a protron compare to the mass of the electron?
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.
How does the measured mass of hydrogen compare with its nuclear mass due to one proton?
The mass of the whole hydrogen atom includes the mass of an electron as well as the proton. The proton mass is nearly 2000 (actually about 1836) times greater than the electron mass. So, the mass of the hydrogen atom isn't much different from the mass of the proton. It's also possible this question could be about isotopes. Hydrogen has rare isotopes with one or two neutrons in the nucleus. So, the average mass of hydrogen, as measured, is usually a bit more than you would expect from just a proton and electron. However, these other isotopes are very rare and the effect on the mass of a sample of hydrogen would be very small.
