A proton is a stable subatomic particle, symbol. p. , H +, or 1 H + with a positive electric charge of +1 e (elementary charge). Its mass is slightly less than the mass of a neutron and approximately 1836 times the mass of an electron (the proton-to-electron mass ratio). Protons and neutrons, each with a mass of approximately one atomic mass ...

Proton-to-electron mass ratio. In physics, the proton-to-electron mass ratio (symbol μ or β) is the rest mass of the proton (a baryon found in atoms) divided by that of the electron (a lepton found in atoms), a dimensionless quantity, namely: μ = mp / me = 1 836.152 673 426(32). The number in parentheses is the measurement uncertainty on ...

The masses of the proton and neutron are similar: for the proton it is 1.6726 × 10 −27 kg (938.27 MeV/c 2), while for the neutron it is 1.6749 × 10 −27 kg (939.57 MeV/c 2); the neutron is roughly 0.13% heavier. The similarity in mass can be explained roughly by the slight difference in masses of up quarks and down quarks composing the ...
