Enrico Fermi proposed that an atom's preferred mode of beta decay depends on whether it has too many or too few of these particles, which are often ejected during spontaneous fission.

Carbon-14 dating makes use of the decay of one of these particles, which consists of one up and two down quarks. The number of them in the nucleus is equal to the difference between atomic mass and atomic number. For 10 points, name these particles discovered by James Chadwick, which are slightly heavier than protons and electrically neutral.
