Answer:

hope it helped you

Explanation:

On the one hand, the proton as a charged particle has a higher electromagnetic self energy and thus mass than the neutron. This effect is however overcompensated by the neutron consisting of one additional “down” quark as compared to the protons “up” quark.

Answer:

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams. Scientists define this amount of mass as one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton. Although similar in mass, protons are positively charged, while neutrons have no charge.

differant mass between mass and neutron

On the one hand, the proton as a charged particle has a higher electromagnetic self energy and thus mass than the neutron. This effect is however overcompensated by the neutron consisting of one additional “down” quark as compared to the protons “up” quark.
