The correct answer is B: Neutrons have no electrical charge.

Neutrons differ from protons and electrons because the charge on electron is - 1. The charge on proton is + 1 and on neutron there is no charge. Electrons orbit the nucleus of the atom while the nucleus of itself is made up of neutrons and protons.
