The difference in mass between protons and neutrons is very small, with protons being slightly lighter than neutrons. This mass difference is due to the composition of protons and neutrons, where protons are made up of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of two down quarks and one up quark.
The number of neutrons is the difference between mass number and the number of protons.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons). The difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number gives you the number of neutrons in the atom.
Mesons hold protons and neutrons together by mediating the strong nuclear force between them. This force is carried by the exchange of mesons between quarks inside the protons and neutrons. The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.
- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist

The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.

The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.
The number of neutrons is the difference between mass number and the number of protons.
the neutrons and protons are not the same and the no. of mass is not the same. Elections are the same!

protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge...

Both have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
