Question

1. which subatomic particle is neutral in charge?

a. proton
b. electron
c. neutron
d. positron

Explanation:

To determine the subatomic particle with a neutral charge, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Proton): Has a positive charge.
• Option B (Electron): Has a negative charge.
• Option C (Neutron): By definition, neutrons have no (neutral) electric charge.
• Option D (Positron): Is a positively charged antiparticle of the electron.

So the particle with a neutral charge is the neutron.

Answer:

C. Neutron
