neutron
A
A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is found in the nucleus of an atom
B
not able to conduct heat or electricity, little to no metallic luster
C
A subatomic particle that has a negative charge
D
A small particle in the nucleus of the atom, with no electrical charge
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -neutron, neutral subatomic particle that is a constituent of every atomic nucleus except ordinary hydrogen. It has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67492749804 × 10−27 kg-marginally greater than that of the proton but 1, 838.68 times greater than that of the electron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutrons, along with protons, are subatomic particles found inside the nucleus of every atom. The only exception is hydrogen, where the nucleus contains only a single proton. Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrons have no electrical charge. Protons and neutrons together make a dense bundle at the center of an atom. This bundle is called the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -A neutron is made of two down quarks and one up quark. One up quark has a charge of +2/3, and the two down quarks each have a charge of-1/3. The fact that these charges cancel out is why neutrons have a neutral (0) charge.
