King Lane · Answer 1

Particle mass charge location

protons 1.673*10 ^ - 27 kg 1.6*10 ^ - 19 C in the nucleus

neutrons 1.675*10 ^ - 27 kg 0 in the nucleus

electron 9.11 * 10 ^ - 31 kg - 1.6 * 10 ^ - 19 C around the nucleus (orbitals)

Protons and neutrons have almost same masses. Mass of electrons is 1/1840 the mass of the protons.

Protons and electrons have the same magnitud of charge with different sign. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. Neutrons do not have charge.
