Protons and neutrons are the particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and both are much heavier than electrons.


Do neutrons have less of a charge then protons or electrons?

Neutrons have no electric charge at all; they are electrically neutral. In contrast, protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. Therefore, neutrons have less charge than both protons and electrons, since their charge is zero.
