Is it easier for an atom to lose a proton or a neutron?why or why not

will brain list

No

Explanation:

It is not easier for an atom to lose a proton or a neutron because these particles are held together by very strong nuclear forces within the atom.

Protons are positively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges.

  In the nucleus of an atom, both protons and neutrons can be found.

As with both particles, the very strong attractive force makes them very difficult to remove in ordinary chemical reactions.

Nuclear forces are one of the strongest forces that keeps an atom especially the nucleus together. Only in nuclear reactions to we encounter a situation where nuclear materials are changed, in that regard the properties of the atom also changes.
