Question

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?
​

Answer 1

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

Step-by-step explanation:

`{ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^(0)_( - 1)e }}`

hence it's mass number is zero

`{ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^(4) _(2)He }}`

hence it's mass number is 4

Therefore, proton is heavier than electron

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton
