neutrons having neutral charge it may be electron or proton .

Answer 2

Answer:

• A neutron is a subatomic particle discovered by Chadwick. It is located inside the “nucleus of an atom”.
• Since these subatomic particles are neutral and do not carry any electric charge or electrostatic charge, hence gets the name as neutron.
• Neutron plays a major role in determining the radioactive properties of an element and isotope formations of elements.
• The “mass of neutron” is quite similar to a proton and is equal to: $1.6749286 \times 10^{-27} kg$.
• When neutrons travel at high speed, they can create high radiations that can be deadly, which is the principle behind neutron bombs.
