The correct option is A True

Mass of electron and proton:

  • The charge on the electron is1.6×10-19coulombs the smallest measurable quantity of charge and is called one unit.
  • The mass of the electron 9.11×10-28g, is nearly 11837th of that of the hydrogen atom.
  • The charge on the proton is found to be the same as that on the electron i.e 1.6×10-19coulombs or one unit.
  • The mass of the proton 1.67×10-24gis approximately 2000 times the mass of an electron.​

Therefore, the given statement is true.
