Electrons are lighter than proton
Electrons are elementary particles, and just happen to be among the lightest of them all. Protons and neutrons are not elementary (they consist of quarks and gluons) and just happen to be heavierer
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
The electron, the neutron and the proton are the building blocks of the atom. And of the three, the electron is far and away the lightest. The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, and either particle is over 1800 times more massive than our little 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.
The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!
An alpha particle is about four times heavier than a proton.
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.
The ratio of a proton's rest mass to an electron's rest mass is 1836.15267247:1. For more information, follow the link below.
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.
meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton
No. Protons have about 1836 times the mass of an electron.
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
A proton has a mass over 1,800 times that of an electron (taken from this already-asked question: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_a_proton_or_electron_heavier)
A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.
Since the volume of a proton is significantly larger than the volume of an electron, the density of a proton will be much lower compared to the density of an electron. Densities are calculated by mass/volume, so with protons being much heavier than electrons, the lower volume of protons will result in a lower density compared to electrons.
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
The mass of a proton and neutron are pretty close. So the ratio will be roughly 1 to 1 (or 1:1). The neutron is heavier and if memory serves it is exactly the mass of an electron heavier than a proton. Note it takes around 1820 electron to equal the mass of one proton.
A proton is heavier than an electron. MASS(kg): Proton - 1.67 × 10-27kg Neutron - 1.67 × 10-27kg Electron - 9.11 × 10-31 kg *A neutron is about .1% heavier than a proton.
