A subatomic particles that is slightly heavier than proton and is electrically neutral is
A
Neutron
B
Positron
C
Alpha particle
D
Electron
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: -The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than that of a proton. Thus, the neutron is slightly heavier than a proton.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleon contains at least 1 up quark and one down quark. These values justify the charges on the proton and neutron. It was found that the mass of the down quark is more than that of the up quark. Since the neutron has 2 down quarks, the mass of the neutron was found to be slightly greater than proton.

Detailed explanation-4: –Neutrons make up the majority of the mass of the nucleus and are heavier than electrons and protons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some are heavier than others. The only common ones in everyday life are neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutrons and Protons have about the same mass, 1839 and 1836 times heavier than an electron. Other subatomic particles are heavier or lighter.
