Question

The mass of a proton is approximately equal to

Answer 1

`1.6726\cdot 10^(-27) kg`

Step-by-step explanation:

The three main particles that make an atom are:

- Proton: its mass is
`1.6726\cdot 10^(-27) kg`, it carries an electric charge of +e (
`e=1.6\cdot 10^(-19)C`), and it is located in the nucles of the atom

- Neutron: its mass is
`1.6749 \cdot 10^(-27)kg`, it carries no electric charge, and it is also located in the nucleus of the atom

- Electron: its mass is
`9.1094 \cdot 10^(-31)kg`, it carries an electric charge of -e (
`e=1.6\cdot 10^(-19)C`), and it is located outside the nucleus
