What is mass of electron?
The invariant mass of an electron is approximately 9.109×10-31 kilograms, or 5.489×10−4 atomic mass units. On the basis of Einstein’s principle of mass–energy equivalence, this mass corresponds to a rest energy of 0.511 MeV. The ratio between the mass of a proton and that of an electron is about 1836.
Mass of electron:- Mass of electron is 0.00055 a.m.u. or 9.1 x 10-31 kg or 0.91093826×10−300.91093826×10-30 kg.
The electron rest mass (symbol: me) is the mass of a stationary electron. It is one of the fundamental constants of physics and is also very important in chemistry because of its relation to the Avogadro constant. It has a value of about 9.109×10−31 kilograms or about 5.486×10−4 atomic mass units, equivalent to an energy of about 8.187×10−14 joules or about 0.5110 MeV.
