Answer
The completed table is as follows:
relative mass
relative charge
proton
+1
neutron
1
electron
1/1836
In this table, the proton has a relative mass of approximately 1 and a charge of +1, the neutron has a relative mass of approximately 1 and a charge of 0, and the electron has a very small relative mass of approximately 1/1836 with a charge of -1.
