Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They have no electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.
Think of neutrons as the glue in your school project. Just like how glue holds together different pieces, neutrons help hold together the protons within an atomic nucleus, preventing them from repelling each other due to their similar charges.
Proton: A positively charged particle located within the atomic nucleus.
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU): A unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, roughly equivalent to the mass of one nucleon (either a proton or neutron).
Strong Nuclear Force: The force that acts between protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus, overcoming electromagnetic repulsion and holding them together.
