Definatly not! A Neutron is a kind of Baryon (a type of Hadron) made up of the subatomic particles: Up quark, Down quark and Electrons. Now a Neutrino is different, there are three different types. There are Electron Neutrinoes, Muon Neutrinoes, and Tau Neutrinoes. Neutrinos are a type of Lepton, for every Neutrino there is a equivalent non-neutrino. For example, There is an Electron and an Electron Neutrino. So to conclude Neutrino does not mean Neutron, instead it is describing a type of Lepton. This should answer the Question.

electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.


Neutral subatomic particles?

Examples are: neutron, antineutron, 3 neutrino and 3 antineutrino.


What are the two easily detectable products of the decay of a free neutron?

A free neutron decays into a proton, an electron and an electron neutrino (with a mean lifetime of about 15 minutes). Of these, the proton and electron are readily detectable. Neutrino detection is extraordinarily difficult.


What are some neutral subatomic particles?

Neutron, neutrino, photon, the still-hypothetical graviton.

Examples: a neutral atom, a neutron, a neutrino, etc.


What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?

Beta decay releases a fast-moving electron (beta particle) from a neutron in the nucleus. During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and the electron and an antineutrino are emitted to conserve charge and energy.


How does quarks theory compensate spliting of neutron into electron and proton?

Supposedly one of the down quarks of the neutron becomes an up; thus the neutron becomes a proton and an electron (and a neutrino) are emitted.


What has no negative charge and no positive charge?

Neutrons. These are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Neutrinos, but their mass is very, very small.
