THE NEUTRONS.
Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons. “Free” neutrons are those no longer confined inside a nucleus.
What is a neutron simple definition?
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge; it is neutral. Neutrons are extremely dense.
However, neutrons don't exist by themselves for long in nature. Instead, they are found inside the nucleus of atoms, making it much more difficult to measure their properties than protons, which are stable enough to exist alone.Jan 7, 2022

Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons. “Free” neutrons are those no longer confined inside a nucleus.What are neutrons good for?
Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Neutron facts (for which, no charge)
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. He discovered it using this curious device which he made from pieces found in the laboratory:
Neutrons are very small indeed. ...
There are stars made of neutrons. ...
Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons. ...
Neutrons are made of three quarks.
What is neutron made of?
Neutrons contain one up quark and two down quarks. The nucleus is held together by the "strong nuclear force," which is one of four fundamental fources (gravity and electromagnetism are two others). The strong force counteracts the tendency of the positively-charged protons to repel each other.
What happens if we touch neutron?
So when anything tries to touch neutron star, it would be suck in by gravity and collapse into lump of neutrons and feed their mass into that neutron star. And if it collects enough mass it would collapse into a black hole.Sep 22, 2014.
