Why do electrons orbit the nucleus about a billion times a second instead of neutrons? Explain in 1-2 sentences

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Electrons are much lighter than neutrons and are therefore able to move at much higher speeds, allowing them to orbit the nucleus rapidly. Neutrons have no charge and do not feel the electromagnetic force, so they do not orbit the nucleus in the same way that electrons do.
