Question

What type of charge does a neutron have

Answer 1

Hey there!

A neutron is found in the nucleus of an atom. All neutrons have a neutral charge while protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge.

I hope this helps! Have a sparking day!

Answer 2

A neutron has no charge and is electrically neutral.

The neutron is an electrically neutral subatomic particle with no charge. It is neither positively charged nor negatively charged.

This makes it different from the proton, which carries a positive charge, and the electron, which carries a negative charge.

Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons.

Their mass is slightly greater than that of a proton.

For example, the neutron has a mass of 1.0087 atomic mass units (amu) while the proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu.
