Compare the mass of proton and electron and how they are represented ?

Open in App

Solution

Mass of protons, $m_{p} = 1.67 \times 10^{- 27} k g$
Mass of electrons, $m_{e} = 9.11 \times 10^{- 31} k g$
$∴ \frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}} \approx 1836$
The proton to electron mass ratio is represented by $μ$ or $β$ . It is dimensionless quantity.
$μ = \frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}} \approx 1836$
