Which term is neutral?

Explanation:
Neutral means having no electric charge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, so they’re not neutral. Neutrons have no charge at all, making them the neutral option. An isotope describes a variant of an element with a different number of neutrons, which changes mass but doesn’t define neutrality of the term itself. So the intrinsic neutral term is neutrons.
