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.

What species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
What are some neutral subatomic particles?
Neutron, neutrino, photon, the still-hypothetical graviton.
Who postulated the existence of the neutrino?
Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky proposed the existence of the neutron star in 1934. Antony Hewish and Samuel Okoye discovered "an unusual source of high radio brightness temperature in the Crab Nebula" in 1965, which turned out to be the Crab Nebula neutron star.
When was Tau neutrino created?
Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
When was Electron neutrino created?
Electron neutrino was created in 1956.
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 species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?
In beta decay, a neutron becomes a proton, an electron, and a neutrino (or maybe an anti-neutrino -- we're not sure).
Neutral subatomic particles?
Examples are: neutron, antineutron, 3 neutrino and 3 antineutrino.
Which particle has no electric charge?
A neutron - also a neutrino has no electric charge.
What are some neutral subatomic particles?
Neutron, neutrino, photon, the still-hypothetical graviton.
What doesn't carry an electrical charge?
Examples: a neutral atom, a neutron, a neutrino, etc.
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.
What particles the one with the least mass is the electron proton neutron or neutrino?
Neutrinos, but their mass is very, very small.
What nuclear reaction would result in a decrease in neutrons?
Beta decay converts a neutron to a proton, an electron, and an electron neutrino.
What is the subatomic particle that has no charge called?
A neutron is a subatomic particle with no charge.
