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.
Both Protons and Neutrons make up an atom, and both are charged.
They are both electrical that's one way . . .
Protons are positively charged
Neutrons are negatively charged
The number of protons is the atomic number
Protons+Neutrons=Atomic weight
Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!
- the masses of protons and neutrons are very similar
- both are components of the atomic nucleus
- both contain quarks and gluons
They have the same mass.
Both have almost same mass (~1 amu)
You may be referring to neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutron is heavier than the proton, but the difference is more like two electrons than one.
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.
The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
These particles are: proton and neutron.
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.
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 neutron is a little heaviest than the proton. The mass of a proton is 1,00727646677(10) atomic mass units. The mass of a neutron is 1,008664915 6 (6) atomic mass units.
