True, the proton has greater mass than an electron.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The fundamental unit of matter is the atom. It can be divided into sub-particles called proton, neutron and electron.
  • Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus while electrons are present in the orbits around the nucleus.
  • A proton has a mass of 1.674929 x 10^-27 kg while the electron has a mass of 9.109390 x 10^-31 kg.
  • So the proton is heavier than the electron.
