Question

Which of these statements about neutrons is true? . . . A.. Neutrons travel around the nucleus of an atom.. . . B.. A neutron has no charge.. . . C.. Neutrons have less mass than electrons.. . . D.. The number of neutrons in an atom always equals the number of electrons.

Answer 1

B is the correct answer. Neutrons have no charge. In contrast, protons are positively charged and electrons have negative charge. These charges are all relative to each other. The protons and neutrons can be found inside the atom of an element. Electrons float around the outside.

Answer 2

Answer:

A neutron has no charge

Explanation:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles. These are as follows :

(1) Proton

(2) Electron

(3) Neutron

Protons are positively charged particles while electrons are negatively charged particles. The electrons keeps on revolving around the nuclues of an atom.

Neutrons are neutral species i.e. they don't have any charge. There is a slight difference in masses of neutrons and protons i.e. its mass is greater than proton's mass.

Hence, the correct statement about the neutron is ''a neutron has no charge''
