The relative atomic mass of neutron is:

Correct answer: C. 1.0073

  • A. 1.00073
  • B. 1.00087
  • C. 1.0073
  • D. 1.0087

Explanation

The relative atomic mass of a neutron is approximately 1.0073 atomic mass units (amu). This value takes into account the mass of the neutron, which is slightly greater than 1 amu due to the presence of other subatomic particles within it. This value is used in calculations involving atomic masses and isotopes.

About Composition of Atomic Nuclei

Atomic nuclei contain positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons, collectively called nucleons. Questions use atomic number, mass number and nuclear notation to identify isotopes, isobars and isotones, and may connect nuclear composition with nuclear charge, mass defect, binding energy and the stability of the nucleus.
