Neutrons have no net charge. They are comprised of two down quarks, each with a charge of -1/3 and one up quark, with a charge of +2/3. These cancel out, for a net charge of zero.

Constrast this with the proton, with one down quark, -1/3, and two up quarks, +2/3. for a net charge of +1.

In 1932, English scientist James Chadwick discovered another particle in the nucleus of atoms. This newparticel, called neutron, was hard to detect because it has no electric charge.
