A neutron has a neutral charge. The atom itself consists of protons neutrons and electrons. Neutrons do not serve much purpose except holding the protons in the nucleus and making different isotopes. An atom can become positively charged if it looses an electron which originally carried a negative charge. If that atom were to gain an electron it would become negatively charged.

What contains positive and neutral particles?

An atom contains positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Positively charged ions in a solution also contain positive and neutral particles, as they have lost electrons to become positively charged.


What is neither negatively nor positively charged?

protons - positive charge electrons - negative charge neutrons - no charge


What is the positive charge of a neutron?

The question does not make sense. A neutron is neutral NOT positive. When a neutron decays, it forms a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron and an antineutrino.

Which materials tend to become positively charged?

Materials that tend to become positively charged include materials that easily lose electrons, such as rubber, glass, and human hair. When these materials gain excess protons (positively charged particles) through contact or friction, they become positively charged.


What is made up of a nucleus?
