Particles in an atom that are neutral and have no charge are
A
negatrons
B
electrons
C
neutrons
D
protons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they are neutral). Like protons, neutrons are bound into the atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles present in every atom except hydrogen. Neutrons do not carry a negative or a positive charge on them. Therefore they have no net electric charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Now, the element having no neutron in the nucleus of its atom is hydrogen. Its atomic number is one and it consists of a single proton and exists in diatomic form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrogen (Protium-1H1) is the only element that does not contain any neutrons in its nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -A neutral, or stable, atom is composed of an equal amount of three components: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
