  2. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    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 unit, are jointly referred to as nucleons (particles present in atomic nuclei). One or more protons are present in the nucleus of ...

    proton-to-electron mass ratio: 1 836.152 673 426 (32) 1.7 ... While the values of the physical constants are independent of the system of units in use, each ...

  4. Proton-to-electron mass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-to-electron_mass_ratio

    Baryonic matter consists of quarks and particles made from quarks, like protons and neutrons. Free neutrons have a half-life of 613.9 seconds. Electrons and protons appear to be stable, to the best of current knowledge. (Theories of proton decay predict that the proton has a half life on the order of at least 10 32 years. To date, there is no ...

  5. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit)

    In 1803 John Dalton proposed to use the (still unknown) atomic mass of the lightest atom, hydrogen, as the natural unit of atomic mass. This was the basis of the atomic weight scale. [12] For technical reasons, in 1898, chemist Wilhelm Ostwald and others proposed to redefine the unit of atomic mass as ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ the mass of an oxygen atom. [13]

    They noted that the unit of length in this system is the radius of the first Bohr orbit and their velocity is the electron velocity in Bohr's model of the first orbit. In 1959, Shull and Hall [4] advocated atomic units based on Hartree's model but again chose to use ⁠ ⁠ as the defining unit.

  7. Atomic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass

    The atomic mass of atoms, ions, or atomic nuclei is slightly less than the sum of the masses of their constituent protons, neutrons, and electrons, due to (per E = mc 2). Atomic mass is often measured in dalton (Da) or unified atomic mass unit (u). One dalton is equal to 1 ⁄ 12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom in its natural state.

  8. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    For in natural (Planck) units, the strength of gravity simply is what it is, a primary quantity, while the proton's mass is the tiny number 1/13 quintillion. [ 21 ] While it is true that the electrostatic repulsive force between two protons (alone in free space) greatly exceeds the gravitational attractive force between the same two protons ...

  9. Mass number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_number

    For 12 C, the isotopic mass is exactly 12, since the atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12 C. For other isotopes, the isotopic mass is usually within 0.1 u of the mass number. For example, 35 Cl (17 protons and 18 neutrons) has a mass number of 35 and an isotopic mass of 34.96885. [7]
