Neutrons are slightly heavier then protons. But not hugely so, together they are classed as nucleons.
If neutrons are free ie they are not bound to a proton they will decay. The neutron will split into a proton, an electon an an antineutrino.
Now to really mess with your mind it is possible to use that information to figure out the ratio of neutrons to protons in the universe.
