neutron-neutral

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike protons and electrons, which are electrically charged, neutrons have no charge-they are electrically neutral.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
Detailed explanation-4: -The neutron is most appropriately called an atomic particle because, unlike the negatively charged electron or positively charged proton, it has no charge. Hence, Neutrons do not have a positive or negative charge. These particles are neutral or chargeless.
