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
The proton exerts a greater electrostatic force on the electron in a hydrogen atom. This is because the proton has a much larger mass and positive charge compared to the much smaller mass and negative charge of the electron.
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
A proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged
Compared to a proton, an electron has a much smaller mass (approximately 1/1836 times the mass of a proton) and a negative charge. Electrons are located outside the nucleus of an atom, while protons are found within the nucleus.
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
The proton exerts a greater electrostatic force on the electron in a hydrogen atom. This is because the proton has a much larger mass and positive charge compared to the much smaller mass and negative charge of the electron.
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
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.
The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
A proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged
About 1/1800.
Mass of electron is about 1837 times less than the mass of proton
Simple division. 1.007316/0.000549 = 1835 times as large in mass, proton over the electron -----------------------------------------------------------------------
The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!
