Core of an atom. The nucleus contains both positive (protons) and neutral (neutrons) subatomic particles. - O neutral atom - An atom in which the number of negative charges (electrons in orbit) is equal to the number of positive charges (protons in the nucleus). neutral wire - The conductor of a polyphase circuit or a single-phase three wire circuit that is intended to have a ground potential. The potential difference between the neutral and each of the other conductors are approximately equal in magnitude and equally spaced in phase. neutral - A terminal, point or object with balanced charges. Neither positive or negative.
