No. Neutrons are slightly more massive than protons.
Protons and neutrons are composed of three quarks of two different flavors: up and down (the shorthand notation is 'u' and 'd', respectively, and the notation of protons and neutrons are 'p' and 'n', respectively.)
P: uud
N:ddu
Up quarks have a charge of +(2/3) with respect to a proton's charge and Down quarks have a chrge of -(1/3) with respect to a proton's charge. As such, a proton's charge is +1 and a neutron has no charge.
The mass of the Up quark is .002 GeV/c^2 and the mass of the Down quark is .005 GeV/c^2. As such, given that the neutron replaces a Down quark with the proton's Up quark, the mass of the neutron is greater than the mass of the proton. It should be noted that very little mass is derived from the quarks themselves. Most of the mass of a hadron (a particle made up of quarks) is gained from the energy generated by the gluon field; gluons mediate the Fundamental Strong Force and is responsible for holding hadrons together. Because of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), quarks and gluons can never be isolated; that is, they will never be found free in nature as we currently know it outside of very high energy interactions.

Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
What is the mass of an atom found by?
Mass of an atom = Mass of proton + Mass of neutron
What subatomic particle has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge?
The neutron is a subatomic particle that has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge.
Does A neutron has twice the mass of a proton?
no
Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.
Does a neuron have the twice the mass of proton?
I assume that you mean a "neutron" with a "t". If so, the mass is very similar to that of a proton (a neutron is roughly 1.0013 times as heavy (http://education.jlab.org/qa/particlemass_02.html)).
How does the mass of a electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
How does the mass of a proton compare to the mass of a neutron and an electron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
What is the mass of an electron compared to the mass of a proton or neutron?
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
What is equal to mass of a proton?
The mass of a proton is equal to a neutron.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
Is the mass of a neutron the same as?
The mass of neutron is similar to the mass of proton, but not equal !
Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
