How do you calculate the density of a neutron? Chemistry A Closer Look at The Atom Discovery of the Neutron 1 Answer anor277 Feb 16, 2017 #"Density"# #=# #"Mass"/"Volume"# Explanation: So #rho=(1.6726231*10^-27* kg)/((4/3)xxpixx(1.113xx10^-15 m )^3# #=2.90xx10^17*kg*m^-3#, which is fairly dense.......but then we expected it to be for a fundamental massive particle.
