Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons. The actual mass of an electron is approximately 1/1836 times that of a proton, meaning that electrons are about 2000 times less massive than protons. Additionally, electrons have a negative charge, with exactly the same magnitude as the positive charge of a proton.
