Question

The mass of a proton is approximately equal to

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg$

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
