Both protons and neutrons (and their anti-particles) froze out:
VladimirAG [237]
I think Both protons and neutrons (and their anti-particles) froze out at 1013 K, about 0.0001 seconds after the Big Bang. Protons and neutrons are sub atomic particles of an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. Proton is the positively charge particle while the neutron has no charge. The proton positive charge accounts for the positive nuclear charge.
