Answer:

so we know that mass of proton and mass of neutron is almost same

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of the proton is given as


m_p = 1.66 * 10^(-27) kg

here we know that

mass of the neutron is given as


m_n = 1.67 * 10^(-27) kg

in terms of amu we have


m_p = 1.007 amu


m_n = 1.008 amu

so we know that mass of proton and mass of neutron is almost same
