A tiny particle that has mass, but no electric charge is____
A
a proton
B
a neutron
C
an electron
D
an ion
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: Mass and charge As their name suggests, neutrons are electrically neutral, so they have no charge. Their mass is 1.008 times the mass of the proton-in other words, it’s approximately 0.1% heavier.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Hydrogen is the only element that does not contain any neutrons in its nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is the reason? Because they are built the same as electrons and protons, except that the charge is contained inside the spin and not outside it like the other two particles.
