The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms. In comparison, a hydrogen atom, which consists of one proton and one electron, has a mass of about 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. This means that the mass of the electron is roughly 1/1836 of the mass of the hydrogen atom, making the electron's mass negligible in comparison to the proton's mass within the hydrogen atom.

How does the mass compare to the mass of a electron?

The mass of a neutron is approx 1837 times that of an electron. The mass of a proton is similar to that of a neutron. In the simplest atom, hydrogen, the mass of the nucleus is 1,837 times that of an electron. In the largest known atom, that of ununoctium, containing 281 baryons (neutrons or protons) the mass of the nucleus is approx 516,200 times that of an electron. So take your pick: 1,837 to 516,200.

How does the measured mass of hydrogen compare with its nuclear mass due to one proton?

The mass of the whole hydrogen atom includes the mass of an electron as well as the proton. The proton mass is nearly 2000 (actually about 1836) times greater than the electron mass. So, the mass of the hydrogen atom isn't much different from the mass of the proton. It's also possible this question could be about isotopes. Hydrogen has rare isotopes with one or two neutrons in the nucleus. So, the average mass of hydrogen, as measured, is usually a bit more than you would expect from just a proton and electron. However, these other isotopes are very rare and the effect on the mass of a sample of hydrogen would be very small.

What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?

There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).


How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?

The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
