No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.
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.
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.
Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.
Both an electron and a neutron are subatomic particles found in an atom. They both have a negative charge, but a neutron has no charge.
Smaller than a neutron
No, an electron is MUCH smaller than a neutron. About 1/1836 or something like that. Just Google "mass of an electron".
Electron!
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.
the electron is the smallest in terms of mass. 9.11E-31kg/electron 1.67E-27kg/neutron 1.67E-27kg/proton
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
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.
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.
The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
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.
A proton and neutron are both composed of three quarks. An electron is a fundamental particle and is not composed of smaller particles.
