The neutrality of the neutron is a matter of definition; since it behaves as uncharged, it is categorized as such. The definition could be attributed to extensive experimental observations which ultimately contributes to the current broad scientific consensus, and thus it is ultimately admitted to a Standard Model wherein its charge neutrality becomes canonical. This is the essence of the scientific process. However, this is not to say the causality behind lack of charge is therefore self-evident; charge is a property of matter, and if a particle lacks the property, one might ask, why does it lack that particular property?
In the case of the neutron, it is a composite particle made up of smaller fundamental particles, called quarks. Quarks themselves are the only particles in the Model assigned a fractional value of the fundamental charge; in the case of the neutron, two (down) quarks with charges of negative one third are bound in a trio with a third (up) quark of positive two thirds; the sum of the three equals zero (2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 0), and thus the neutron exhibits overall electrical neutrality, or zero charge.
Neutrons have no charge; therefore, they are neutral.
Neutrons have neutral charge.
The neutron
The neutrons doesn't carry a charge.They're neutral - that's why they're called "neutrons".A neutron has no charge. That is why it is called a neutron, because it is neutral.
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.
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
The neutron is a neutral particle.
a neutron neither...it is neutral
Protons and neutrons; these particles consist of quarks and gluons.
An atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A proton is positive, a neutron is neutral, and an electron is negative. So it has a neutral charge.
Neutron. Neutron.
neutron
yes neutron has no charge
This particle is the neutron.
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
