Electron and proton do not have the same mass but they have same magnitude of charge

Electrons and protons do not have the same mass.

Electron

Proton

So, while electrons and protons are both subatomic particles found in atoms, they have opposite charges and significantly different masses. This charge difference, with electrons having a negative charge and protons having a positive charge, is what leads to the attractive electric forces that hold electrons and protons together in the atomic nucleus.
