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.
All neutrons are alike. As the name suggests , they are neutrally charged particles in the nucleus of an atom. They carry the same mass as a proton. They are found in the nucleus of an atoms together with the protons. However, atoms of a given element are isotopes of one another, if they have a different number of neutrons. e.g. Hydrogen , exhibits three isotopes. #1 protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron.( commonest isotope) #2 deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron. ( heavy hydrogen) #3 tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron. ( super heavy hydrogen and radio -active). Note in this table the number of neutrons in each isotope. The next element in the Periodic Table is Helium #1 helium ; 2 proton, 2 neutrons, 2 electron. Note the same number of neutrons as tritium , but now has two protons. A Neutron, in nuclear physics, can disintegrate to form a proton and 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.
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.

An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.

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.
