  • Proton vs. Electron Mass: Understanding the Difference
    That statement is incorrect.

    Protons have a much greater mass than electrons.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Proton: A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive charge and has a mass of approximately 1.6726 × 10^-27 kg.

    * Electron: An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative charge and has a mass of approximately 9.1094 × 10^-31 kg.

    Therefore, a proton is about 1836 times heavier than an electron.
