Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A neutron has zero charge which means it is a neutral particle. Neutron is denoted by a symbol “n” which has a mass of. 67493 × 10-27 kg . The number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus determines its mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they are neutral).
