Correct Answer: Neutron


Solution : The correct option is a Neutron

Neutrons are subatomic particles located in an atom's nucleus that have no electrical charge but contribute to the atom's mass along with protons. Neutrons increase the total mass of an atom but do not affect the atom's chemical behaviour. Protons are subatomic particles that carry a positive charge. They weigh about one atomic mass unit (AMU) and an elementary charge of +1. Negatively charged particles called electrons orbit the nucleus in shells or energy levels. Every element possesses neutrons in its atoms except hydrogen.
