A proton is a positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom. An electron has 11836 times the mass of a proton, but an equal and opposite negative charge.
The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. The same number of protons and electrons exactly cancel one another in a neutral atom.
