Collin Dominguez · Answer 1

A Neutron and a Hydrogen Atom

Explanation:

Hydrogen atom having an atomic mass of 1.008 amu consists of one proton and one electron. Hence, the + ve and - ve charges cancels out and makes the hydrogen atom a neutral specie.

Also, we know that neutron is neutral sub particle while, proton and electron are positively and negatively charged respectively. Therefore, a neutral neutron having no charge becomes equal to hydrogen atom having zero charge due to cancellation of both + ve and - ve charges.
