The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.

How does the electrons differ from the atomic particles?

It really depends what particle you are comparing it to. Compared with the neutron and proton: The electron has a much smaller mass - roughly 2000 times smaller than the neutron or proton. As far as we know, the electron is a truly elementary particle. Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles (the quarks). The electron has a negative charge, the proton a positive charge, and the neutron is electrically neutral.


Why electron is a fundamental particle of matter but proton and neutron do not?

The electron is a point particle with no internal structure. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure of 3 particles, called quarks.
