Question
Compare an electron and a proton in respect of mass and charge.
Solution
The relative mass of a proton is 1u, as the mass of the proton is almost same as that of a hydrogen atom. The relative mass of an electron is (1/1840) u, as the mass of an electron is 1/1840th of the mass of a hydrogen atom.
A proton is positively charged, whereas an electron is negatively charged.
