What is the difference between
(i) positron and proton
(ii) neutrino and neutron

Open in App

Solution

A positron has a mass of electron but is positively charged, where as a proton is 1870 times heavier than electron and is also positively charged.

The same goes with neutrons and neutrinos, both are neutral in charge but nneutron is almost 1900 times heavier than neutrino.
