Answer:

The charge on the proton is equal in magnitude to that on the electron but opposite in sign—that is, the proton has a positive charge. ... The mass of a proton or neutron is about 1,836 times larger. This explains why the mass of an atom is primarily determined by the mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
