The mass of proton is one unit and is equal the mass of neutron. | The mass of neutron is one unit we may considered, and is equal to the mass of Proton. |
Proton involved in nuclear reaction. | Neutron also involve in nuclear reaction. |
Example of proton is : sodium which atomic number is 11 so 11 proton present in sodium atom. | Example of neutron is :- neutron is neutral it has only 1 unit. |
