Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "An electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton" is correct. Neutrons have mass but no charge, the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, the charge of a proton is equal but opposite to the charge of an electron, and electrons have much less mass than protons.
