A proton has a mass of 1 Dalton
electron, which is -1 in charge. -(-1)=+1
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
Both one proton and one neutron each has a relative mass of 1 a.m.u.

X-Ray and Gamma are photons. Photons have no mass and no charge. Well, sort of... Photons have no mass at rest state. Problem is, they don't sit at rest state. They move at the speed of light. At that speed there is an infinite mass multiplication effect from the Lorentz transformation, 1 / (1 - (1 - v2/c2)-1/2). Take a particle with no mass and multiply that mass by infinity and you get - well, officially, its indeterminate - unless you start talking about limits - then you get some mass. Bottom line - there is no particle with no mass, unless you happen to also be moving at the speed of light relative to the particle, and that would require infinite energy.
The proton is the subatomic particle which carries the positive charge. It has a charge of +1 and a mass of 1,672 621 637(83).10-27 kg.
Proton: positive charged particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u Neutron: neutral particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u Electron: negative charged particle, component of an atom (but not contained in nucleus), mass=approx. 1/1836 from the mass of a proton.
A particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus is a proton.
No nuclear particle has a relative mass of 4. However, the alpha particle which is emitted by one of the radioactive iodine isotopes, has a relative mass of 4. An alpha particle is emitted from the nucleus but not referred to as a nuclear particle because it is made up of 4 nuclear particles - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.
The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.
No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
No, an alpha particle has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. It is a helium nucleus. The neutron has a mass of 1 amu and no charge.
Protons and neutrons have the mass of 1 amu.
Beta particles are actually electrons (-e) or can be positrons.The mass of one electron or beta particle is 9.1095*10-31 kilograms or 0.000548597 AMU which is about 1/2000 times the mass of a proton or neutron.
The Neutron
1. Proton: a particle from the atomic nucleus, positive charge, mass approx. 1 u.a.; discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1919. 2. Neutron: a particle from the atomic nucleus, neutral, mass approx. 1 u.a.; discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. 3. Electron: a particle from the atom, negative charge, very low mass; discovered by J. J. Thomson in 1932.
