A neutron has a zero electric charge and has a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. A proton and an electron can be fused to create a neutron, and a neutron decays into a proton and an electron (and a bit of something else). More details about the neutron can be had by using the link to the Wikipedia article on this "building block" of the atom.

∙ 9y agoThe two important characteristics of a neutron are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of neutron. The mass of a neutron is equal to mass of a proton. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of neutron. Neutron has no charge. It is electrically neutral.

how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
What is charge to mass ratio of neutron?
The neutron has no charge, therefore the charge to mass ratio for the neutron is zero.
What property does a proton have that a neutron does not?
Charge

Name the property of heavy water?
Heavy water contain deuterium, a hydrogen isotope having one neutron.
How long does a neutron star last after a supernova?
Nobody knows for sure, but billions of years. It would also depend on when the neutron star, no longer becomes a star. Is it when it stops radiating heat, or x-rays? The star or the remains will continue to be a physical property but will no longer radiate any energy.
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.

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.
