Both have equal and opposite charges.
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
No, a neutron cannot turn a proton into an electron. However, a neutron can decay into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino through a process called beta decay. In this process, the neutron transforms into a proton while emitting an electron and an antineutrino. Thus, while a neutron is involved in the transformation of a proton, it does not directly turn a proton into an electron.
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
This statement is incorrect. A proton has a mass that is approximately 1836 times greater than that of an electron.

An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.

An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
No, a neutron cannot turn a proton into an electron. However, a neutron can decay into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino through a process called beta decay. In this process, the neutron transforms into a proton while emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
