Mass of electron:

  1. An electron is a small negatively charged particle with a mass of 9.108×10-28g.
  2. All neutral atoms contain electrons.

Mass of Proton:

  1. The mass of a proton is 1.6726×10-24g or about 1836 times the mass of an electron.
  2. The proton carries a positive electrical charge.

Mass of Neutron:

  1. The mass of a neutron is 1.675×10-24g.
  2. A neutron is a particle with no charge.

The ratio between the masses of electron, proton, and neutron is 1:1837:1838
