The term "neutron" comes from the Latin word "neutrum," meaning "neither," reflecting the particle's neutral electrical charge, as it is neither positively nor negatively charged. Discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, neutrons play a crucial role in the stability of atomic nuclei, helping to bind protons together despite their repulsive electromagnetic forces. Their neutral charge allows them to penetrate the nucleus without repelling or attracting other particles, making them essential for the structure of atoms.

No, a neutron is neutrally charged. A proton is positively charged. And an electron is negatively charged.
The positively charged particle in an atom is a proton. Proton - positive Neutron - neutral Electron - negative

The subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge.
A neutron is a part of the atom that has a Neutral charge so to say. The atom is composed of an electron, proton, and neutron. Electrons have the negative charge, Protons have a positive, and neutron has no charge. Remember it as in "Neutron is neutral" or "neutron is no". A free neutron (outside of an atom that is) has a half-life of less than 15 minutes.
The subatomic particles in an atom that have no charge are the neutrons.
The nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but no electrical charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons and contribute to the atomic mass of the atom.

No, a neutron is neutrally charged. A proton is positively charged. And an electron is negatively charged.
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
The positively charged particle in an atom is a proton. Proton - positive Neutron - neutral Electron - negative
A neutron because it has a neutral charge. An uncharged atom is just called by its name, e.g. a Silver or an Iron atom. A charged atom is called an Ion: Cations are positively charged and Anions are negatively charged. A neutron is subatomic particle, not an atom. Atoms consist of neutral neutrons, negatively charged electrons, and positively charged protons.
