How does the mass of an alpha particle compare to that of a proton?

An alpha particle is about four times heavier than a proton.


How does the force exerted by a proton on a proton compare with the force exerted by a proton on an electron at the same distance?

The force exerted by a proton on a proton and a proton on an electron at the same distance will be the same in magnitude but opposite in direction, due to Newton's third law of motion. This is because both protons and electrons have the same charge but opposite signs, leading to an equal and opposite force.


How would a proton-volt compare with electron volt if the mass of proton is 1840 time of electron?

A proton-volt (PV) would be 1840 times greater than an electron-volt (eV) since the mass of a proton is 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron. This means that one proton-volt is equivalent to 1840 electron-volts.


Which particle is the lightest particale in the following 1. electon 2. neutron 3. proton 4. a-particles?

The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.


How much heavier is a proton than a electron?

The Electron is by far the smallest of the three. Protons are the same size and mass of the Neutron, and they are more than 1,800 times the mass of the electron.If you don't understand that, here's some form of a table of the masses of the 3 particles:Electron: 1/1800 Neutron = 1/1800 ProtonNeutron: 1800 Electrons = 1 ProtonProton: 1800 Electrons = 1 Neutron
