That is why it is called Neutron, however it consists of two down quarks and one up quark and it is the heaviest particle in the atom, slightly heavier then Proton. The charge on an up quark is + 2/3. The charge on a down quark is -1/3. When you add the charges of the quarks inside a neutron you have: +2/3 - ((1/3) * 2) = 0 Therefore a neutron has zero charge

Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?

As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge


What is a Particle with a neutral charge called?

A particle with a neutral charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms alongside protons, and they do not carry any electric charge.


Why are atoms said to be electrical neutral?

because it normally does not have a electric charge If an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral.


What all neutral atoms lack?

Neutral atoms lack a net charge, meaning they have an equal number of protons and electrons. This balanced charge prevents them from being attracted or repelled by external electric fields.


Is elctric charge a property of just electricity or is charge property of all atoms?

Charge is a property of subatomic particles like protons and electrons, which are present in all atoms. All atoms contain some combination of positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. This gives atoms an overall neutral charge, but they do have individual charges on their component particles.


What is a neutral subatomic particle?

A neutral subatomic particle is a particle that has no electric charge, such as a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of atoms and play a crucial role in stabilizing the nucleus due to their neutral charge.


Are atoms the carry an electric charge?

Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
