The mass of one electron : 9.103 x 10⁻²⁸ g

Further explanation

Electrons are a part of the atomic nucleus particles (including protons and neutrons), and are negatively charged (-1)

An electron has the charge of -1.6022 x 10⁻¹⁹C

1 g = -1.76 x 10⁸ C

so the mass of one electron :


\tt (1.6022* 10^(-19))/(1.76* 10^8)=9.103* 10^(-28)~g
