The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
A neutral particle in an atom is typically found in the nucleus, such as a neutron. Neutrons have no charge and contribute to the atomic mass of the atom.
Neutron has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (u) and carries no electric charge. It is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom alongside protons.
Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, which have a mass of 4 atomic mass units and a charge of +2. This means that alpha particles are identical in mass and charge to helium nuclei.
A neutron is the subatomic particle with a charge of 0 and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit.

Neutron has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (u) and carries no electric charge. It is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom alongside protons.
Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, which have a mass of 4 atomic mass units and a charge of +2. This means that alpha particles are identical in mass and charge to helium nuclei.
This atomic particle is the neutron.
A particle in an atom with a neutral charge is a neutron. Neutrons have no electrical charge and are located in the atomic nucleus along with protons. They contribute to the mass of the atom but do not affect its overall charge.
A neutron is the subatomic particle with a charge of 0 and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit.
Protons and neutrons make up an atom's atomic mass. Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus along with neutrons, which have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, contribute very little to the atomic mass of an atom.
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. It has a mass of about 4 atomic mass units.
