Proton rest mass
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009612
The invariant mass of a proton when it is at rest, representing its intrinsic mass independent of its motion. This fundamental physical constant is a key property of the proton, a subatomic particle found in atomic nuclei. Its accepted value is approximately 1.67262192369 × 10^-27 kilograms.
