No. The mass of a proton (1.672622 x 10-27 kg) is only slightly less than the mass of a neutron (1.674927 x 10-27 kg).
A neutron could split into a proton plus an electron during the radioactive decay..
1.66 X 10 -27 kg (mass of proton/neutron)/9.109 X 10 -31 kg ( mass of electron) = 1822 times greater ===============
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.
The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton. The neutron has no electric charge while the proton has a positive charge (+1 elementary charge). The mass of a neutron and a proton are 1.67492729(28)×10−27 kilograms and 1.672621637(83)×10−27 kilograms respectively. That makes the neutron about 25/10,000ths more massive than 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

the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.

A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.

The mass of neutron is similar to the mass of proton, but not equal !
The mass of a proton is equal to a neutron.
