Question

how is a proton differ from a neutron?

Answer 1

Answer:

Protons are electrochemically positive in charge and the Neutrons are electrochemically neutral in charge. Protons are the positively charged particles.

Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom's nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons both are parts of nucleus and they stay inside the nucleus due to large nuclear force between them

Mass of proton and mass of neutron is almost same or in more precisely we can say that neutrons are slightly heavy than protons

mass of neutrons is 1.008 amu while mass of protons are 1.007 amu.

the main different between them is that protons are positively charged and their charge is same as that of charge of electron

q(proton)=1.6×10^-19

while neutrons are electrically neutral and they do not have any charge on them.
