We bought the book of "The Weakest Link" which told us that electrons are heavier than protons.
We feel sure that electrons would be lighter. Is the book wrong? Or are we!?

Protons
The mass of a proton is 1836 times the mass of an electron.
Your book is wrong!!

Protons are much heavier than electrons. The book is definitely wrong. An electron is about 1/1836 the mass of the proton. Write to the publishers and gloat. He he he.

Protons are heavier than electrons, protons have an atomic mass of 1 and electrons have an atomic mass of approximately 1/600. Ur Right!!!!

If the mass of 1 electron was 1 kilogram, then the mass of 1 proton would be approximately 1835 kilograms.
your books is unfortunately wrong.

Protons. Electrons are consider to have a relative weight of zero, and protons 1.

The book is wrong; Protons have a larger relative mass. Electrons don't really exist as particles (well, only some of the time), so their mass is almost negligable.

Protons are much larger and heavier than electrons.

Protons and neutrons have similar mass and make up the bulk of the mass of any atom. Electrons have such a small mass, it is insignifican to the overall atomic mass of the atom - so the book is wrong and you are right. Electrons weigh an insignificant ammount, even by sub atomic standards!
