# Neutron Mass

What are neutrons? It is a subatomic particle. Neutron is the composition of 1 up quark and 2 down quark and comes under the family of fermions. It is denoted by n or nº. The neutron mass is slightly higher than the proton mass. The charge of the neutron is null, which implies that neutron is electrically neutral. Neutron is located inside the nucleus.

## Mass Of Neutron

Mass of neutron is cannot be directly calculated by mass spectroscopy. But it can be calculated by indirect methods.

 Neutron mass mN 1.674927471(21) * 10-27kg

### Nuetron Mass In Other Units

The mass of the neutron can be expressed using alternative units of measurements. Like – a mass of neutron in grams, neutron mass AMU, the mass of neutron in MeV

 Neutron mass Value mass of neutron in kg 1.674927471(21)×10−27 kg mass of neutron in grams 1.674927471(21)×10−24 kg mass of neutron in AMU 1.00866491588(49) u mass of neutron in MeV 939.5654133(58) MeV/c2
