Answer:

They are both in the nucleus of an atom, they have different charges

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons and neutrons are similar because they are both in the nucleus of the atom, being orbited by the electron(s). They are different, however, because they have different charges, the proton is positively charged and the neutron is neutral.

hope this helped:)
