Question #f0136

Answer 1

`m_"neutron"~~1.0093872 "amu"`

Explanation:

Well, an electron weighs around `0.00054858 "amu"`, and if a neutron weighs `1840` times the mass of an electron, then

`m_"neutron"=1840*0.00054858=1.0093872 "amu"`

However, the real mass of a neutron is around `1.00864 "amu"`.
