Do electrons have mass?

Open in App

Solution

Electrons have a mass of approximately $\frac{1}{1836} amu$ and have a negative charge.
Electrons have $\frac{1}{1836}$ the mass of protons and a negative charge assigned at -1 unit since the electron is the basis of all charges.
Protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu each and the mass number equals the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.
