A free neutron decays into a proton but a free proton does not decay into neutron. This is because
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) neutron has larger rest mass than proton
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As neutron has more rest mass than proton it will require energy to decay proton into neutron.
