Protons are made up of Subatomic Particles, in this case a Proton Atom is made up of two Up quarks, and one Down quark. The mass of an Up Quark is 2.4 MeV/c2 and the mass of a Down quark is 4.8 MeV/c2. Electrons are still in the Subatomic Particle Table, an Electron is a type of Lepton. An Electron's mass 0.511 MeV/c2 which is a lot less than a Proton, even less than a Up quark itself (the lightest quark). In most cases when talking about Atoms and their mass Electrons don't normally have an effect on their mass, only the Neutrons and Protons in the Atom.
This should answer the Question.
What else can I help you with?
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
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.
What particle has the same mass as a neutron?
A positron, a neutron, a single proton, and a single electron are all considered to be equal in mass, however, a positron is generally referred to as an "anti-electron", as it travels at the velocity of light (like an electron), an has a positive charge (+1e, as opposed to an electron, which carries a negative charge, i.e: -1e).
What is the difference between the three subatomic particles?
The main differences are proton and neutron are in the nucleus, electrons are outside of the nucleus. The weight of an electron is between a hundred and a thousand times less of that of a proton and neutron and the charge on a proton is positive, neutron is neutral and electron is negative
During beta decay the following change will occur in the nucleus?
The beta decay changes the color and texture. The new element that forms is clyropediatica. When clyropediatica forms it leaves behind an odor and is not as light as helium. Also, it is stronger than the metatarcels in the pyroclastic flow when it is over run by the elcaburn.
Why do positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on a nucleus?
The reason positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on the nucleus of an atom is because the resulting atom undergoes nuclear transformation, and the new element will have one less proton and one more neutron than the precursor element. Both of these nuclear changes are interesting, so let's look a bit more closely. In positron emission (also called beta plus decay), a proton in the nucleus of an atom "changes" into a neutron and a positron is ejected. This results in one less proton in that nucleus (naturally), and the creation of a new element. And because the proton had become a neutron, the nucleus has the same number of nucleons and a similar atomic weight. In electron capture, a nucleus with "too many" protons will actually "pull in" an electron and take it into its nucleus. This electron will "combine" with a proton, and a neutron will result. This will reduce the number of protons in the nucleus, and the creation of a new element -- just like in positron emission. Links to related questions can be found below.
Which has less electric charge ion electron neutron or proton?
A neutron, which has neutral charge
What has a mass slightly less than that of a neutron?
A proton has a mass slightly less than that of a neutron. A neutron is slightly more massive due to the extra mass of an additional electron.
How does the mass of neutron compare to the mass of an electron?
The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of the neutron?
The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.
Would a electron have far less mass than a proton or a neutron?
Yes, the mass of an electron is roughly 1835 times less
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
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.
Which weighs more proton neutron electron?
A Neutron weighs more than a proton. Than an electron. A Neutron weighs the most, and an electron weighs the least. A proton is in the middle. Although there are these three sub atomic particles, an atom is made up of 99 percent empty space! But from greatest to least in mass, it goes neutron, proton, then electron!
Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.
What subatomic particle has the less mass?
The electron is the subatomic particle with the least mass. It has a mass of about 1/1836 of a proton or neutron.
Why isnt the mass of the electron included in the mass of an atom on the periodic table?
the mass of electron is very less compared to that of a proton or a neutron it is 1/1800 the mass of 1 proton and therefore it is negligible and not included.
What particle has the same mass as a neutron?
A positron, a neutron, a single proton, and a single electron are all considered to be equal in mass, however, a positron is generally referred to as an "anti-electron", as it travels at the velocity of light (like an electron), an has a positive charge (+1e, as opposed to an electron, which carries a negative charge, i.e: -1e).
What is the product of electron capture decay of xenon isotope 129xe?
Interestly, a neutron is a proton + an electron. So, when an atom captures an electron, one of its protons becomes a neutron. Now it has 1 more neutron, but 1 less proton; making the it an atom of the element with atomic number 1 less than the original atom. The total number of protons and neutrons remains the same. Xe- 129 + e-1 = I- 129
