Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg. (Neutron: 1.674927351 x 10-27, Proton: 1.672621777 x 10-27)
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
Atoms are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons (save hydrogen-1, which lacks any neutrons). Protons and neutrons are baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Having said that, the quark, which is a fundamental particle, is smaller than an atom by a great deal. Further, the quark is smaller than either a proton or neutron, as both are made of three quarks. The electron is a fundamental particle, and it is smaller still than a quark.When we look at the fundamental particles as they are described in the Standard Model, only the photon and gluon, which are force carriers, are smaller. It should be noted that the way we relate "smaller" in this case is by stating a mass-energy equivalence and describing the mass of the fundamental particles in terms of energy. Use the link below to see a chart of the sixteen particles that make up the three generations of matter.

When Beryllium is bombarded with alpha particle some stream of particles are found to be coming out. First such an experiment was done by Bothe and Becker. But they mistook those particles coming out as intense gamma radiation as it was not deflected by magnetic or electric field. Later the same experiment was done by Fredrick Joliot and his wife Irene Joliot. They too lost the chance of finding that as neutron. Finally James Chadwick did the same experiment and found precisely the particles having almost equal mass as that of proton and not having any charge. He named that one as Neutron.
No, carbon and oxygen do not have the same atomic mass. Carbon has an atomic mass of approximately 12 atomic mass units, while oxygen has an atomic mass of approximately 16 atomic mass units.
Protons and plasma particles are very different objects.
These particles are: proton and neutron.
Protons and neutrons have the same mass
Neutrons have almost the same mass as protons. They are both subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom and are collectively referred to as nucleons. The mass of a neutron is only slightly greater than that of a proton.
The same mechanism applies.
Temperature and mass of the particles affect the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. Similarly, particles with higher mass have greater kinetic energy compared to particles with lower mass at the same temperature.
No. Light is a form of energy. Matter has mass. Light has no mass.
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg.
Atomic mass and molar mass are similar concepts but not the same. Atomic mass refers to the average mass of an atom of an element, while molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. The mass number of particles can be the same in certain cases, such as isotopes of the same element which have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons.
Proton and neutron.
The rest mass energy of an electron-positron pair is equivalent to the combined rest mass of the two particles, according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2. The rest mass energy can be calculated by adding the rest masses of an electron and a positron, which are equivalent to their respective rest masses multiplied by the speed of light squared.
