Correct Answer: +1 and 0 respectively


Solution : The correct answer is +1 and 0 respectively .

While having almost equal masses, protons and neutrons have different electric charges. A neutron is neutral and has no net electric charge, whereas a proton has a positive charge. A proton possesses an elementary charge of about +1. Since a neutron lacks a net electric charge, its charge is almost always near zero.
