A neutron has a neutral charge because **it contains a specific combination of quarks**. Neutrons are composed of three quarks: two down quarks (each with a charge of -1/3) and one up quark (with a charge of +2/3). The total charge of these quarks sums to zero, giving the neutron its neutral charge.
