Neutrons attach with a protons in the center of an atom. Electrons circle around the outside in a shell. Neutrons have no charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons a negative charge. Generally if you know the atom has no charge then it will contain the same number of protons and electrons. If it has a charge of +1 then it has one more proton than electron. If its charge is -1 then it has one more electron than protons. This is a very basic explanation. If you are in a more advanced class than middle school or high school, you may need to ignore most what I just wrote.

There aren't any electrons in a neutron.
Er, well, there sort of are. But not really.
The mass of a neutron is equal to the combined masses of a proton and an electron, and it has no charge (-1 + 1=0).
I'm sure that's confused you even more, but it is the answer to your question.

There are no electrons in a neutron. An atom is comprised of three parts: electrons, neutrons and protons. Neutrons have no electric charge...hence the name.

neutrons = 0 electrons.
therefore, 0 electrons are in neutrons.
But, in an atom, protons = electrons.
The atomic mass - neutrons = protons = electrons

electrons only exist outside the nucleus of the atom, neutrons exist only within the nucleus, they are kept seperate and therefore there are no electrons in a neutron.

there are no electrons in neutrons the electrons lay on the outer rim of the nucleus

A neutron cannot have an electron.Electrons are in orbitals while neutrons are inside the nucleas.

electrons aren't in neutrons

Ur question as no meaning .........i mean electrons and protons are fundamental particles which mean they can't be further divided hence there is no question of electrons in a neutrons.
But i thnk u mean electrons in nucleus ,,,if thats the question then is basicely depends on the atom ur talking about ..so no specific answer for that .....................
Best of luck.....................byeeeeeeee
