  • Proton: Mass, Charge, and Role in Atomic Structure
    A particle that has mass and a positive electrical charge is called a proton.

    Here's why:

    * Mass: Protons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.6726 × 10^-27 kg.

    * Positive Charge: Protons carry a single positive charge, which is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the charge of an electron.

    Protons are fundamental particles found in the nucleus of atoms.
