Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Neutron has a mass of 1.675 x 10-27 g which is nearly equal to the mass of a proton.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expert Answer The mass of a neutron is equal to 1.675 ✕ 10⁻²⁷ kg. If we add the mass of the electron and the mass of the proton, it will not comes out to be 1.675 ✕ 10⁻²⁷ kg. Hence the given statement is false.
