Neutron, in isolation, are unstable, with a half life of 10.3 minutes, which means that, in 10.3 minutes, half the isolated neutrons will decay into a proton and an electron, essentially turning into a hydrogen atom. In another 10.3 minutes, half of the rest will do so, so in one hours, less than 2% of the neutrons will remain, the rest would already have turned into hydrogen.
Neutron also do not like to be clumped in groups, unless they are held up by extreme gravity like in a neutron star. So, unless they are with a few protons, neutrons will be isolated and will then decay.
So, to summarize, if all atoms were made of neutron only (and calling them atoms is a bit of a stretch as atoms requires a nucleus and orbiting electons, and electrons cannot orbit a neutral nucleus) said atoms will quickly turn into isolated neutron, which will quickly turn into hydrogen. Hydrogen will form big gas clouds and some will condense under their own wieght to form stars. Those stars will combine hydrogen into heavier elements, some will go supernova and scatter those heavier elements, the hydrogen gas cloud enriched with heavier elements will eventually condense to form stars with planets, and we'd be back to the present situation.

We would have a Quark problem.The quarks would not know what to do.There would be no electron cloud in Bohr's hydrogen atom model.
However if One was a designer of atoms it could be possible to Design diferent type of stuctures different from present arrangment in atomic structure. However ;no matter how one thinks of it, there has to be an Intelligent Design control system to keep substances together.
Present theory indicates that black holes is a substance who has lost all their electron and protons .to the atoms are now nothing but neutron ,hence a powerfull gravitational mass so powerful that it can pull in a speck of dust and anihliate it.
However the same mass can also be acomplished by protons since protons and neutron have quasi same densities.
So the statement that a black hole need to be a neutron structure is only speculation. And according to skeptics =Black holes dont exist!

We will be neutralized! Get it?
No electrons, loss of reactivity?
Neutralized! HA!

There'd be no chemistry. Wouldn't that be nice?
