SteveYes, that is correct. A proton and neutron each have a mass of approximately 1 Atomic Mass unit (amu). This unit is commonly used to express the mass of subatomic particles in relation to the standard carbon-12 atom.

Which two particles each have a mass approximately equal to one atomic mass unit?
Protons and neutrons each have a mass approximately equal to one atomic mass unit.
Which of the atomic particles have a mass of one atomic mass unit?
Both the proton and the neutron have a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit (amu). The proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and the neutron has a mass of 1.00867 amu.
How many proton neutron electrons in a hydrogen isotope with mass of 2?
1 proton and 1 neutron is needed because the 2 in hydrogen 2 refers to the atomic mass and protons and neutron have a mass of about 2 daltons each.
Do the designations hydrogen and neutron for the proton and neutron imply that these two praticles are of equal mass?
No, the designations of hydrogen for the proton and neutron for the neutron do not imply that these two particles are of equal mass. A proton is about 1836 times heavier than a neutron. The terms "hydrogen" and "neutron" were historically used to describe these particles based on their properties and roles in atomic structure, rather than their masses.
What is the approximate atomic mass of a neutron?
The approximate atomic mass of a neutron is 1 unified atomic mass unit, which is equivalent to 1.008665 atomic mass units when considering the mass excess.
