Respuesta :

The characteristics of a neutron are given in the second statement. Statement 2.

A neutron posseses the following characteristics "It has no charge and a mass of 1 amu"

  • The atom of an element is made up of three subatomic particles namely: neutron, proton and electron.

  • The neutron and proton are located inside the nucleus of the atom to form the nucleon while the electron is located outside the nucleus.

  • The proton and electron are positively and negatively charged respectively, however, the neutron is neutrally charged and contains a mass of 1.67 × 10-²⁷ kg, which is equivalent to 1 atomic mass unit (amu).

  • Therefore, neutron posseses the following characteristics "It has no charge and a mass of 1 amu".
