Both protons and neutrons are of equal size and mass. However neutrons have no charge and protons have a positive charge. Neutrons are also used in beta radiation and can be changed into protons.
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
The proton an neutron both have a mass of about 1 amu. (Both have a mass just slightly above 1 amu, and the neutron's mass is slightly larger than that of a proton.)

P=UUD (two up, one down) N=DDU (two down, one up) Down quarks are charge -1/3 relative to a proton and up quarks are charge +2/3 relative to a proton.
Protons are made up of Subatomic Particles, in this case a Proton Atom is made up of two Up quarks, and one Down quark. The mass of an Up Quark is 2.4 MeV/c2 and the mass of a Down quark is 4.8 MeV/c2. Electrons are still in the Subatomic Particle Table, an Electron is a type of Lepton. An Electron's mass 0.511 MeV/c2 which is a lot less than a Proton, even less than a Up quark itself (the lightest quark). In most cases when talking about Atoms and their mass Electrons don't normally have an effect on their mass, only the Neutrons and Protons in the Atom. This should answer the Question.
These particles are: proton and neutron.
Proton and Neutron.
That would be the neutron. It resides within the nucleus of the atom, along with the proton. It is very similar to the proton except that it is electrically neutral. (It is made up of quarks, similar to the proton. However, the neutron is made of one up quark and two down quarks, while the proton is composed of two up quarks and one down quark.)
The particle that most resembles a proton could either be a neutron or an electron, and we'll have to explain that. The proton has about the same mass as the neutron, while the electron has only about 1/1836th the mass of a proton. The masses of the proton and neutron are similar. And both particles are found in the nucleus of atoms. The proton has the same electrical field strength as an electron (only of opposite polarity), while the neutron has no charge. The proton and electron have the same coulomb charge on them, except the sign of the charge. Both particles are carriers of fundamental electrical charges. In these two ways, the proton could be said to be like either the neutron or electron. And how the observer "looks" at them will determine which "likeness" he sees.
No, the designations of hydrogen for the proton and neutron for the neutron do not imply that these two particles are of equal mass. A proton is about 1836 times heavier than a neutron. The terms "hydrogen" and "neutron" were historically used to describe these particles based on their properties and roles in atomic structure, rather than their masses.
These particles are: proton and neutron.
The two particles that make up the nucleus of an atom are the proton and the neutron. The proton has a positive charge, and the neutron doesn't have a charge.
Proton, neutron, gluon.
Proton and neutron.
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
Neutron-proton scattering refers to the interaction between a neutron and a proton. It involves the exchange of a virtual meson between the two particles, which allows them to interact through the strong nuclear force. Studying neutron-proton scattering can provide valuable information about the structure and interactions of the atomic nucleus.
The difference between deuterium and tritium is one neutron. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron, 12H, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons, 13H.
