Question

What is the difference between nuclear protons, and neutrons?

Answer 1

Well, they have approximately the same mass....

Explanation:

And they are both nuclear particles.... The single difference is that protons are conceived have a unit positive electric charge, and neutrons have no electric charge.

Within the nucleus, at these short nuclear ranges, the strong nuclear force, an attractive that operates between massive particles at short range, is strong enuff to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion, between like charged protons. And this is the province of particle physics, certainly not of chemistry.
