The job of the neutron is to "donate" mass to what is called mass deficit during the fusion process that creates heavier atomic nuclei from lighter ones. During fusion, all the nucleons that are being fused give up a little mass, and this mass is converted into binding energy, or nuclear glue, to hold the nucleus together. You'll recall that the positively charged protons want to push everything apart because like charges repel each other. But in fusion, neutrons are always present to "add to the mix" and "chip in" with a little mass to generate the nuclear binding energy. In fact, neutrons could be said to have no other purpose. That's because a neutron that is unbound is unstable and will decay into a proton and an electron. Use the link below to the related questions on WikiAnswers.
The neutron in the nucleus of the atom is serving two main functions:
A neutron is a neutral particle, found in the nucleus (center) of atoms. Most atoms have protons and neutrons in their nucleus, the exception being hydrogen-1 (the most common type of hydrogen), which has only a proton.
the neutron keeps the nucleus together. it also binds protons together in the nucleus
Help make up the nucleus and have no charge.
Neutrons help hold the nucleus together.
It has a neutral charge.
