Neutron
A sub-atomic particle, within the nucleus of an atom, which has unit mass and zero charge. A member of the baryon and hadron families of elementary particles. It was discovered by Chadwick in 1932.
The neutron consists of two down and one up quark.
Protons and neutrons comprise atomic nuclei and they are both classed as nucleons.
