The ratio of mass of a neutron to that of an electron is about 1839. What is the ratio of the mass of a proton to that of an electron?

Correct answer: B. 1837

  • A. 159
  • B. 1837
  • C. 2537
  • D. 10000

Explanation

A proton and neutron have nearly equal masses, so the proton-to-electron mass ratio is also about 1837 to 1839. The value 159 is far too small for a nucleon and electron comparison.
