Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the subatomic particles listed: Electron, Positron, Proton, and Neutron.
Recall the charge of each subatomic particle: Electrons have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge, and Positrons, which are the antimatter counterparts of electrons, also have a positive charge.
Understand that Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom and are unique because they have no electric charge.
Recognize that the absence of charge in Neutrons makes them neutral, which is a key characteristic that distinguishes them from the other subatomic particles listed.
Conclude that the subatomic particle with no electric charge is the Neutron.
