  • A neutron is a subatomic particle that is not charged at all. This means that it is neutral.
  • The neutron is also located in the nucleus of an atom. It has a relative mass of 1.
  • Neutrons help stabilise the nucleus by adding extra mass without adding any charge.
  • The number of neutrons in an atom can vary, creating isotopes of the same element.
