To Find: the number of times the proton mass is to the mass of the electron.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The proton’s mass is approximately
To determine how many times the proton mass is larger than the electron mass, take the ratio of proton mass to electron mass.
The ratio is
Conclusion:
The mass of a proton is
