Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False? Neutrons have a negative charge
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles present in every atom except hydrogen. Neutrons do not carry a negative or a positive charge on them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Miller, a UW physics professor, has found that the neutron has a negative charge both in its inner core and its outer edge, with a positive charge sandwiched in between to make the particle electrically neutral.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons. “Free” neutrons are those no longer confined inside a nucleus. These free neutrons are produced by nuclear fission and fusion processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, Neutrons do not have a positive or negative charge. These particles are neutral or chargeless.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
