How is the mass of protons and electrons calculated?
I wanted to ask about how the mass of protons and electrons is calculated. Can you explain that to me?
Sure! The mass of protons and electrons is measured in atomic mass units (amu). Basically, one amu is equal to one twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom. The mass of a proton is about 1.0073 amu, while the mass of an electron is about 0.000548 amu.
