The correct statement that describes why the expression is incorrect is:
A neutron should be expressed as \( ^1_0n \), not \( ^0_1n \).
In nuclear notation, the mass number (which is 1 for a neutron) should be on the top, and the atomic number (which is 0 for a neutron) should be on the bottom. So the correct representation for a neutron is \( ^1_0n \).
