Why nutron is nutral?

Avneet12: A neutron is NOT a fundamental particle. A neutron is a baryon which means it is made from 3 quarks.

Now the quarks that makes protons and neutrons are up and down quarks and they carry a charge.

Now up quarks has a charge of +2/3
down quarks has a charge of -1/3

So an arrangement of 2 down quarks and an up quark yields no net charge and you have a neutron.
An arrangement of 2 ups and a down, yields a charge of +1 and you have a proton.

Avneet12: dis is more crrct

A neutron is made of two down uarks and one up quark.one up quark has a charge of +2/3, and the two down quarks each have a charge of -1/3. So these charges cancel out that's why a neutron has no charge and hence is neutral
