Which is heavier, a proton or an electron?
A
A proton
B
An electron
C
They are the same
D
6.02 x 1023
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A proton is approximately 2000 times heavier than an electron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proton is about 1, 836 times as heavy as the electron; nobody knows why nature picked that particular number. The neutron is very slightly heavier than the proton, by about 0.1%, or 1.00137841887 according to the best measurements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but they are both much more massive than electrons (approximately 2, 000 times as massive as an electron). The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.

Detailed explanation-4: -When it is accelerated by a potential difference difference of 1kV, its kinetic enegry will be. A proton is about 1840 times heavier than an electron.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mass of neutron is 1.0086654 a.m.u. Neutron is 1842 times heavier than an electron.
