Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of an atom: An atom consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are found in the electron cloud.
Identify the charge of a neutron: Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no electrical charge, meaning they are neutral.
Determine the location of a neutron: Neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, along with protons.
Compare the options given: Evaluate each option based on the known properties of neutrons. Neutrons are neutral and located in the nucleus.
Select the correct answer: Based on the properties of neutrons, choose the option that states 'Neutral charge, located in the nucleus.'
