What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Physics
2 answers:

Answer:

B) neutron keep protons apart so they don’t repel  each other

Explanation:

Neutrons are of almost same mass as that of protons mass or we can say it is slightly greater than the mass of proton

There is no charge on the neutrons as they are neutral and they resides inside the nucleus.

since nucleus is a small region where large number of protons and neutrons exists so in this small region protons must have large repulsion force between them but since this repulsion force is counterbalanced by the strong nuclear force between the neutrons and protons so here role of neutrons is to provide sufficient strong force to bound the nucleons together

so here correct answer will be

B) neutron keep protons apart so they don’t repel  each other

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
poizon [28]
Let us first know the given: Tennis ball has a mass of 0.003 kg, Soccer ball has a mass of 0.43 kg. Having the same velocity at 16 m/s. First the equation for momentum is P=MV P=Momentum M=Mass V=Velocity. Now let us have the solution for the momentum of tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ) I use the subscript "t" for tennis.  Momentum of Soccer ball Ps= 0.43 x 13m/s = (      km-m/s). If we going to compare the momentum of both balls, the heavier object will surely have a greater momentum because it has a larger mass, unless otherwise  the tennis ball with a lesser mass will have a greater velocity to be equal or greater than the momentum of a soccer ball.
