Particle mass charge      location

protons    1.673*10 ^ - 27 kg 1.6*10 ^ -19 C in the nucleus
neutrons   1.675*10 ^ - 27 kg 0    in the nucleus
electron    9.11 * 10 ^ - 31 kg    -1.6 * 10 ^ - 19 C    around the nucleus (orbitals)

Protons and neutrons have almost same masses. Mass of electrons is 1/1840 the mass of the protons.

Protons and electrons have the same magnitud of charge with different sign. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. Neutrons do not have charge.
