The least massive principle atomic particle is the electron. Neutrons and protons are much more massive and are about equal in mass. Of course, there are even smaller particles such as quarks which are less massive than even electrons.

Which has least mass neutron protron electron or nucleus?

Well, that's kinda a trick question because an electron is pure energy. An electron particle is also the smallest of the 4, so its the electron (eventhough an electron is a weichtless particle such as a graviton or magneton! Hope I helped!!

What lists ranks nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive?

The ranks for nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive are: alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and neutron radiation. Alpha particles are the most massive and have the least penetration power, while neutron radiation is the least massive and can penetrate deeply into materials.
