The Fundamental Unit of Life
State the similarities and dissimilarities between protons and neutrons.
Similarities of protons and neutrons:
(i) Both protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom.
(ii) The mass of a neutron is approximately equal to the mass of a proton, i.e., 1.67 x 10-27 kg.
Dissimilarities between protons and neutrons:
Protons possess a unit positive charge (1.6 x 10-19 coulomb).
Neutron carries no charge, i.e., it is electrically neutral particle.
