They are only
neutral' in the sense of having no charge - they do have an electrical field.
If they had charge, they would also have rest mass, because the charge represents energy and energy and mass are the same thing. So they would not travel at the speed of light. At least classically, it is not possible to have a charged massless particle.

When the total charge on an object is zero the object is electrically what?
The object with zero charge is electrically neutral.
Are gamma rays positrons?
No, they are not.Gamma rays are photons - just like light. They are electrically neutral. They move at the speed of light. Positrons, also known as anti-electrons, have a positive charge. They move at speeds less than the speed of light.
What is the difference between light energy and electrical energy?
Lots of differences. For example: light is a flow of electrically neutral particles (called photons), that move at the speed of light (at least, in a vacuum). Electricity is a flow of charged particles - often electrons - that move at speeds below the speed of light.
What is the difference between electrically charged and a neutral object?
Electrically polarized objects have had their charges separated, so one side will be positive, and the other side will be negative.
Atoms are electrically what?
Neutral? The core is positive, electrons are negative, and in many cases the result is neutral. It doesn't have to be, but if it isn't they are usually called ions, instead.
What is light made up of a positive or a negative charge?
Neither. Light is composed of photons, which are electrically neutral.
What is an electrically neutral subatomic particle found in a necleus of an atom?
There are many neutral particles which are made up of charged quarks e.g. the neutron) but the only fundamental neutral particles are neutrinos, photons, Z bosons, and gluons.
Which has neutral charge?
atoms, molecules, neutrons, photons, neutrinos and many more
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically charged?
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral.
Is potassium electrically neutral?
Yes Potassium is electrically neutral.
What substances are electrically neutral?
Water is an electrically neutral substance.
Are Photons positive or negative?
No, they aren't. Photons are the gauge particles of the electromagnetic force, but they themselves carry no electric charge (or magnetic charge either, for that matter). A photon has no electrostatic charge.
How many electrons does silver have when it is electrically neutral?
When it is electrically neutral, it has 47 electrons.
What does the term electrically neutral?
The meaning of electrically neutral is without any electrical charge.
Why n type are electrically neutral?
Why n and p type semiconductors are electrically neutral
What is an example of an electrically neutral atom?
An electrically neutral atom is one that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What is the subatomic particle that has no charge called?
A neutron is a subatomic particle with no charge.
