Question
How many times is a proton heavier than an electron?
Advertisements
Solution
We know,
Mass of an electron = 9.1 × 10–31 kg
Mass of a proton = 1.6 × 10−27 kg
Thus, a proton is 1840 times heavier than an electron.

To have an idea of what atoms are, students can be asked to construct atoms using pipe cleaners (thin metal wires-electron shells), pompoms (balls-different colours for protons and neutrons) and beads (electrons). Students will love and enjoy putting them together and they look great hanging from the ceiling in the classroom.
