Answer:
The difference in mass between a proton and electron is 1.672*10⁻²⁷ kg
Explanation:
Mass of a proton = [tex]1.673*10^{-24} \ g[/tex]
Mass of an electron = [tex]9.11*10^{-28} \ g[/tex]
The difference in mass between a proton and electron is:
[tex][1.673*10^{-24} - 9.11*10^{-28}]g = 1.672*10^{-24}\ g[/tex]
Convert g to kg
10³ g = 1 kg
The difference in mass in units of kg would be:
[tex]=\frac{1.672*10^{-24}g * 1 kg }{10^{3}g} = 1.672*10^{-27} kg[/tex]
The difference between the mass of an electron and a proton is equal to[tex]1.672*10^{-27}[/tex] kg.
We know that the mass of a proton is equal to [tex]1.673*10^{-24}[/tex] g and the mass of an electron is equal to [tex]9.11*10^{-28}[/tex] g. and
So,
=> [[tex]1.673*10^{-24} - 9.11*10^{-28}[/tex]]
= [[tex]1.672*10^{-24}[/tex]] g
= [[tex]1.672*10^{-27}[/tex]] kg
Thus, the difference between the mass of an electron and a proton is equal to[tex]1.672*10^{-27}[/tex] kg.
