Is neutrons Negative or positive?Or niether?

Question

What is inside an atom?Is neutrons Negative or positive?Or niether?I'm having a quiz on this and my teacher explained it wrong.

Answer 1

neutrons have no charge. electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.

neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom along with protons. And, to offset the postive charges in the nucleus, the electrons orbit around the atoms to balance the charges.

hope that helps!

Answer 2

First of all, *are* neutrons negative or positive. And no, they are neither neither (neutral/neutron).

An atom has a nucleus which is surrounded by electrons (which have a negative charge). The nucleus, which is VERY dense is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, which is what attracts the electrons (opposites attract). However, since the nucleus is so compacted, the neutrons are necessary to hold the nucleus together, because if they weren't there, then the positive charges of the protons would repel, and there would be no atom [hence, no objects/life]


I always find that jokes help me remember information, so here's one about neutrons:
A neutron goes to a restaurant and orders his meal. When the neutron finishes his food, he calls over the waiter and asks how much the bill is. The waiter replies, "For you? No charge!"






Extra information about the fundamental particles of an atom (but don't read this if you're still confused)
Protons and neutrons are made up of quarks. six types of quarks exist: Up & down, top & bottom, and strange & charm. Protons are made of two up quarks and one down quark (u-type and d-type, respectively, for short) and neutrons are made up of two d-type and one u-type quark (a really badly-humored way to remember is a neutron is a d-u-d because it has to charge)

Answer 3

Protons and neutrons each have the same mass (approximately 1 amu) and are both found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. The electrons are MUCH lighter and orbit the nucleus in the empty space around it. Protons are positively charged, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral (no charge).

Answer 4

expert Wrestling: Positives: suits (not all, yet those that are finished with the main attempt are incredibly incredibly sturdy) Negatives: acceptance (expert Wrestling's acceptance isn't the ultimate in any respect. Steroids, injuries, and unsuccessful everybody is continuously talking against professional Wrestling) Wrestling section: beneficial: various critiques adverse: Whining and Complaining (Trolls are glaring, yet that has been annoying me for some time now; heavily, why is everybody so uptight approximately each little thing that occurs in wrestling with John Cena? a number of you human beings could severely make some acquaintances instead of hawking down each little thing John Cena and others do. The consumer battles and arguments have been incredibly getting on my nerves to boot, incredibly concerning that "Sarah" consumer) **starred**

Answer 5

Neutrons-Neutral-No charge

Answer 6

neutrons are neutral. protons are positive. electrons are negative. all together, they make up an atom. atoms are electrically-neutral (protons and electrons cancel each other out).

Answer 7

for laymen: protons = + ; electrons = - ; neutrons = 0

Answer 8

they're neutral.
electrons are negative.
protons are positive.
and, NEUTRONS ARE NEUTRAL (they have no charge)

Answer 9

neutrons have no charge so its neither

Answer 10

neither.
The mass equals that of the proton but it has no electrical charge.
