Neutron radiation is a form of ionizing radiation that presents as free neutrons. Typical phenomena are nuclear fission or nuclear fusion causing the release of free neutrons, which then react with nuclei of other atoms to form new isotopes—which, in turn, may trigger further neutron radiation.
They are more likely to be covalent as covalent compounds usually tend to be radical on the color spectrum with deep purples and blacks and even earwax colored.
