2 answers:
Answer:
C. Protons have an electrical charge, but neutrons have no charge.
Explanation:
Protons and neutrons both are parts of nucleus and they stay inside the nucleus due to large nuclear force between them
Mass of proton and mass of neutron is almost same or in more precisely we can say that neutrons are slightly heavy than protons
mass of neutrons is 1.008 amu while mass of protons are 1.007 amu.
the main different between them is that protons are positively charged and their charge is same as that of charge of electron
while neutrons are electrically neutral and they do not have any charge on them.
so correct answer will be
C. Protons have an electrical charge, but neutrons have no charge.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
