- nuclei have an overall positive charge, as they contain both protons and neutrons
- anti-nuclei have an overall negative charge, as they contain both anti-protons and anti-neutrons

∙ 10y agoNeither. That's why it's called a neutron - it's neutrally charged. It is said to have a charge of zero. You may not be able to get a physicist to admit that a proton (which has a +1 charge) added to an electron (which has a -1 charge) will make a neutron, but you can smash a neutron and get a proton and an electron out of the reaction. It consists of two down quarks and one up quark and it is the heaviest particle in the atom, slightly heavier than the 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.The charges might be said to "add" and "cancel" to give the neutron a negative charge.

There is additional information in the Wikipedia article on the neutron, and a link to that post can be found below.
Neutrons have no charge.
Protons have a positive charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.

∙ 10y agoNo, it is neutral in charge.
Neutrons do not have electrical charge.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThey have a charge of 0 so i guess they are neutral ..!

Are neutrons positively charged?
Neutrons do not have any electric charge at all but are neutral - hence the name. Even the neutron's antimatter menifestation, the antineutron, is neutral.
What does 'neutron' mean?
A neutron is a part of the atom that has a Neutral charge so to say. The atom is composed of an electron, proton, and neutron. Electrons have the negative charge, Protons have a positive, and neutron has no charge. Remember it as in "Neutron is neutral" or "neutron is no". A free neutron (outside of an atom that is) has a half-life of less than 15 minutes.
Describe the charges and types of particles that make up all atoms?
The three particles that make up an atom are:electron,proton and neutron. ELECTRON has a negative charge PROTON has a positive charge and NEUTRON has a neutral charge i.e, it contains an equal number of positive and negative charge
What subatomic particle has an electric charge?
electron-negative, proton-positive, neutron-neutral
Is positively charge neutron?
No, a neutron does not have a positive nor a negative charge. Its in between, too many neutrons can cause radiation, like cobalt-60 the number at the end tells you how much neutrons are in the atom.
Is the neutron positive or negative charge in a necleous?
neutral : neutral charge
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
Is a proton positive or negitve charge?
a proton is a POSITIVE charge, an electron is a negative charge and a neutron is neither positive or negative. a neutron is neutral.
What is the negative positive and neutral charge in an atom called?
Proton, Electron, and Neutron +- = ----- So basically, Negative Charge-Electon Positive Charge- Proton Neutral Charge- Neutron
What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - negative charge (-)
What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
What neutral particles in an atom are called?
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
What is the charge of a neutron and electron?
proton is positive neutron is neutral and electon is negative
Is a neutron a negative or positive?
Neutrons don't have any electrical charge.
What is the charge of a neutrone?
The charge on a neutron is zero. It has no electrical charge; it is a neutral particle.As the name suggests, the neutron is neutral, with neither positive nor negative charge.
What charge neutron does have?
An atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A proton is positive, a neutron is neutral, and an electron is negative. So it has a neutral charge.
What is one fact about a neutron?
they have neither a positive or negative charge but are neutral
