Solution

Mass of an electron= 9.1 ×10^-28g
Mass of a proton= 1.672 ×10^-24g
Mass of a neutron= 1.674 ×10^-24g
Nucleus consists of protons and neutrons which are heavier in weight than electrons. In comparison to nucleus, the weight of electrons is very small or negligible.
Therefore, the electrons have practically negligible mass as compared to the mass of nucleus.
