A subatomic particle, contained in the nucleus of an atom, having the same mass as a proton but no electrical charge
A
proton
B
neutron
C
electron
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -neutron, neutral subatomic particle that is a constituent of every atomic nucleus except ordinary hydrogen. It has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67492749804 × 10−27 kg-marginally greater than that of the proton but 1, 838.68 times greater than that of the electron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutron – A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they’re neutral). Like protons, neutrons are bound into the atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fundamental Subatomic Particles The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
