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.
Is the electron or the neutron or the proton lighter?
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.
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
Which particle is not found in the nucleus?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.
How neutron transforms into proton and electron?
A neutron can transform into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino through a process called beta decay. During beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus of an atom is converted into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. This process helps maintain the balance of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What electron and neutron have in common?
They are both particles in an atom
Do a neutron and an electron have approximately the same mass?
No, a neutron is about 1836 times the mass of an electron
How does an electron differ from a neutron?
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
What are the three most common subatomic particles?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron.
What are the charges on the pronton electron and neutron?
The proton has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge. And the neutron has a no charge.
What Has approximately 1. 1840th the mass of a neutron?
An electron has approximately 1/1840th the mass of a neutron.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
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.

What subatomic particles are closest in mass proton and neutron neutron and electron proton and electron electron and ion?
Mg+2 and Br-1
