a Neutron is one of the nucleons that make up the nucleus. Neutron is an indispensable component of the chemical elements that make up the nucleus (note: atoms do not contain neutrons). Although the chemical properties of atoms are determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, without neutrons, due to the repulsive force between positively charged protons (protons are positively charged and neutrons are uncharged), it is impossible to form other elements except hydrogen with only one proton.
