- Neutron - Wikipedia
The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or n0 , that has no electric charge, and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932, leading to the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, the first self-sustaining nuclear reactor (Chicago Pile-1, 1942) and the first nuclear weapon (Trinity

Neutron, neutral subatomic particle that, in conjunction with protons, makes up the nucleus of every atom except ordinary hydrogen (whose nucleus has one proton and no neutrons)
- Neutron: Definition, Characteristics, Location with Example
A neutron is an uncharged sub-atomic particle found in all atomic nuclei and has a mass similar to a proton A neutron is thus one of the three particles that constitute an atom

- Neutrons: Facts about the influential subatomic particles
Almost all the atoms in the core turn into neutrons, hence why we call the result a neutron star They are small, just 6-12 miles (10-20 km) across, yet they pack in the entire mass of the dead
