A positively charged subatomic particle with a rest mass of 1.67262 x 10-27 kg, slightly less than that of the neutron and about 1836 times that of the electron.

Atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons bound together by nuclear forces. The common term for neutron or proton is nucleon.

A positively charged subatomic particle with a rest mass of 1.67262 x 10-27 kg, slightly less than that of the neutron and about 1836 times that of the electron.
