Compare the charge and mass of protons and electrons.
Charge:
The electronic charge of the proton and the electron both are same. Only there is a change on sign.
Since proton has a positive charge thus its charge is +1.6 × 10-19 C
Whereas electron has negative charge so the charge of electron is -1.6 × 10-19 C.
Mass:
The proton is much heavier in weight whereas electrons have negligible weight.
The weight of proton is 1.67 × 10-24 g whereas the mass of the electron is 9.31 × 10-28 g.
