=== Electric charge === The total electric charge of the neutron is {{val|0|u=[[elementary charge|''e'']]}}. This zero value has been tested experimentally, and the present experimental limit for the charge of the neutron is {{val|-2|(8)|e=-22|u=[[elementary charge|''e'']]}},<ref name="PDGLIVE"> {{cite journal |last1=Olive |first1=K.A. |author2=(Particle Data Group) |year=2014 |title=Review of Particle Physics |journal=[[Chinese Physics C]] |volume=38 |issue=9 |pages=1β708 |doi=10.1088/1674-1137/38/9/090001 |pmid=10020536 |display-authors=etal |bibcode=2014ChPhC..38i0001O |url=http://scipp.ucsc.edu/%7Ehaber/pubs/Review_of_Particle_Physics_2014.pdf |arxiv=1412.1408 |s2cid=118395784 |access-date=2017-10-26 |archive-date=2020-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200601115825/http://scipp.ucsc.edu/%7Ehaber/pubs/Review_of_Particle_Physics_2014.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> or {{val|-3|(13)|e=-41|ul=C}}. This value is consistent with zero, given the experimental [[uncertainty#In measurements|uncertainties]] (indicated in parentheses). By comparison, the charge of the proton is {{val|+1|u=[[elementary charge|''e'']]}}.
