∙ 13y agoA neutron is the subatomic particle with a charge of 0 and a mass of 1 Atomic Mass unit.
Neutron has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (u) and carries no electric charge. It is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom alongside protons.
The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.

atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The subatomic particle with a charge of 1 and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (AMU) is the proton.
The neutron is a subatomic particle that has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge.
Neutron has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (u) and carries no electric charge. It is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom alongside protons.
Neutrons are subatomic particles that have appreciable mass and lack an electric charge. They are found in the nucleus of atoms, along with protons.

A subatomic particle with no mass and a negative charge is called an electron. Electrons are a fundamental component of an atom and play crucial roles in electricity, magnetism, and chemical bonding.
