Solution

  • An atom is divisible in nature with the discovery of electrons, protons, and neutrons, these are the three subatomic particles of an atom
  • Every nucleus of an atom except simple Hydrogen has a neutron, a neutral subatomic particle.
  • That has no charge and a total mass of1.67493×10-27Kg, which is slightly higher than the proton but roughly 1,839 times more than the electron.
  • Thus a subatomic particle that is electrically neutral is a neutron that is present at the nucleus of an atom with protons.
