Which one of the following statements about the properties of neutrons is not correct?
General KnowledgeChemistry
- ANeutron mass is almost equal to proton mass.
- BNeutrons possess zero charge.
- CNeutrons are located inside the atomic nuclei.
- DNeutrons revolve around the atomic nuclei.
Explanation
Neutrons have nearly the same mass as protons, carry zero charge, and reside inside the nucleus along with protons — so statements A, B and C are correct. But neutrons do not revolve around the nucleus; electrons do. Statement D is therefore not correct.
