Because the neutron has no charge, its mass must be found in some way other than by using a mass spectrometer. When a neutron and a proton meet (assume both to be almost stationary), they combine and form a deuteron, emitting a gamma ray whose energy is 2.2233 MeV. The masses of the proton and the deuteron are 1.007276467u and 2.013553212u, respectively. Find the mass of the neutron from these data. Could you please break this problem down completely...not just plug and chug. Thanks!
