Question
What is the relative electrical charge of a neutron?
Answer
The relative electrical charge of a neutron is 0. This answer is tied to Relative electrical charges of subatomic particles and the objective: State the relative electrical charge of a neutron. This answer is tied to Relative electrical charges of subatomic particles and the objective: State the relative electrical charge of a neutron.
Explanation
This answer is strong because it directly states the charge of a neutron, which is essential knowledge in understanding atomic structure. The question tests recall of basic concepts related to subatomic particles. It belongs to Relative electrical charges of subatomic particles in A simple model of the atom, symbols, relative atomic mass, electronic charge and isotopes, so it should not be merged with nearby Chemistry concepts.

Common mistake
Common Mistake on Neutron Charge
Students often state that the relative electrical charge of a neutron is +1.
Remember that a neutron has no charge, so the correct relative electrical charge is 0.
