A neutron is a subatomic particle; it is one of the building blocks of the atom. It has a mass of about 1.675 x 10-27 kg. It's spin is + 1/2 and that makes it a fermion. Additionally, it has no electric charge. It is unstable when free in nature, and has a half life of about 886 seconds. The neutron could be said to be only "alive" to be part of an atomic nucleus as it ceases to exist after a while if left alone. When it wanders around loose, like after its release following a decay event or a fission event, it may bump into another atomic nucleus and become captured by it. This process is called - no surprise - neutron capture. It is, after all, a nucleon, as is a proton, both of which make up an atomic nucleus. The neutron is made up of two down quarks and an up quark. When a neutron decays, it releases a proton (or, if you prefer, a hydrogen nucleus), an electron, and an antineutrino.
What else can I help you with?
Whats the charge for neutrons in chlorine?
Neutrons do not have a charge, as they are electrically neutral particles. Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it gains an electron to form a chloride ion.
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?

Is a neutron positive charged?
No. A neutron carries no charge.
What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
