OCR: NEUTRON .............................................. A NEUTRON IS an uncharged (neutral) particle. Neutrons coexist in the nucleus (core) of an atom along with positively charged protons. The nucleus is orbited by negatively charged electrons. The most common type of hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron and is the only example of an atom that contains no neutrons.
