Neutron charge0
Where are neutrons found?In the nucleus of an atom, alongside the proton.
What is the charge of a neutron?They have no charge; they are neutral, with charge 0.
How does neutron mass compare to protons and electrons?Neutrons have a tiny bit more mass than protons and are way heavier than an electron.
What is the exact mass of a neutron?1.675\times10^{-27}kg
What is the relative mass of a neutron compared to a proton?About 1/1836 of a proton (though note: typical relative mass of a neutron is ~1, not 1/1836; the document likely refers to electron’s relative mass—check content: says “its relative mass is about 1/1836 of a proton”, which is inconsistent. Based on document: “Its relative mass is about 1/1836 of a proton” — this is stated, even if factually dubious, so we keep it.)
