Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Hence, Neutrons do not have a positive or negative charge. These particles are neutral or chargeless.
