Electrons do have a net charge of negative one. Their mass, however, is only a fraction of 1 Atomic Mass unit, specifically, 1/1836 amu.
What else can I help you with?
How does an electron differ from neutron?
Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom (along with positively charged protons). Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom. The mass of neutron is 1 amu and the mass of electron is about 1837 times less than that of neutron.
Electrons have a mass of 1 amu?
1 atomic mass unit = 1.66053886 × 10-27 kilograms-Greg
When it loses two electrons to become a calcium ion what is it's new mass?
38 amu EDIT: This answer is INCORRECT. Electrons do not have significant mass.
Which part of an atom is the largest?
The nucleus contains the majority of the mass in an atom. The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons, which each have a relative mass of 1 amu. The electrons surround the nucleus and have a relative mass of 0 amu.
Where are the poisitive charge and most of the mass found in an atom?
The positive charge in an atom is found in the nucleus, which contains protons. Most of the mass of an atom is also located in the nucleus, primarily from the protons and neutrons that make it up. Electrons, which are negatively charged, contribute very little to the mass of an atom.
What differentiates each subatomic particle?
The mass and the charge. Protons are positively charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Neutrons have no charge. Protons and neutrons have similar mass (about 1 amu). The mass of electron is about 1822 times less than that of protons / neutrons.

Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom.

What are the mass and charge for each sub-atomic particle?
In the atom: Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu.
Electrons have a mass of 1 amu?
1 atomic mass unit = 1.66053886 × 10-27 kilograms-Greg
What sub-atomic particles have a mass of 1 amu?
neutrons and protonsbut NOT electrons (the almost have no mass)
When it loses two electrons to become a calcium ion what is it's new mass?
38 amu EDIT: This answer is INCORRECT. Electrons do not have significant mass.
How are eletrons different from protons and neutrons?
Electrons are different from protons and neutrons in following ways: 1)Electrons have a negative charge 2) Electrons have negligible mass. 3) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific energy orbitals. 4) During chemical reactions it is the participation of electrons that gives different products. If you would like to have more information on this question, please do not hesitate to ask.
What are the positive charged particles in a atomic nucleus that have mass of one amu?
protons
Which part of an atom is the largest?
The nucleus contains the majority of the mass in an atom. The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons, which each have a relative mass of 1 amu. The electrons surround the nucleus and have a relative mass of 0 amu.
Atomic weight of electrons in h2o?
Negligible. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of an amu, so the 18 electrons in a water molecule contribute a little under 0.01 amu to the total mass of the molecule.
Where are the poisitive charge and most of the mass found in an atom?
The positive charge in an atom is found in the nucleus, which contains protons. Most of the mass of an atom is also located in the nucleus, primarily from the protons and neutrons that make it up. Electrons, which are negatively charged, contribute very little to the mass of an atom.
What are structure of atom?
An atom has a nucleus containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (without electrical charge); protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons. Around the nucleus are electron shells; electron is negatively charged. The mass of the proton or neutron is approx. 1 amu; the mass of electron is very small cca. 1/1836 from the mass of a proton.
