Neutrons have which type of electrical charge?

• A. No charge (neutral)
• B. Double positive charge
• C. Positive charge
• D. Negative charge

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the basic subatomic particles that make up an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
2. Understand that protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge, and neutrons are unique in that they carry no electrical charge.
3. Recognize that the term 'neutral' means having no net electrical charge.
4. Therefore, neutrons are electrically neutral particles, meaning they have no charge.
5. Conclude that the correct answer to the question is that neutrons have no charge (neutral).
