Neutrons have a constant fundamental energy because they are not electric.
I SORT OF AGREE with you that a neutralised electrical charge may not be implied as an electrical charge anymore, but I feel if one doesn't fully understand charge and force and motion laws to which charge complies to, most would treat the theoretical neutron incorrectly and imply the region in question is not electric or with any electromagnetic properties whatsoever to it, but that is totally wrong, specially if we are to consider how mass presents itself to all else..
So I have to disagree with you..
With the Atoms structure, via the way our detectors are able to detect positive and negative charges.. we have over time THEORETICALLY defined the proton to consist with a positive charge, and the Electron region and or electron cloud to be negatively charged..
And if one should consider these electromagnetic properties of these particles with respect to change and or a means in presenting their implied charge to else - as in our case to our detectors, Then we must consider how this detection takes place.
And unfortunately if one does NOT understand force and Motion concepts, where force relies on motion in presenting said force, and or where motion relies on force in presenting the dynamics, then I simply would be wasting my time..
So for those who don't FULLY understand everything about force and motion here are some links I insist one goes over before further comments are made..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtons_lawsPlease ensure one reads carefully the following sections
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ForceNow once we consider the above crucial concepts mentioned in the provided links, we should understand that a charge is much like force, where if a push (Electromagnetic Push or charge) is experienced by a reference on our left, then a reference to our right may experience the reciprocal, this latter experience by the reference on our right may refer to the force as a negative force, simply via motion is receding it, while our left reference is experiencing the onslaught of inbound motion, hence the experience is referred to as a force, push or repulsion..
Now with charge its much the same, where if one detects a positive charge, then one could imply one experiences an opposition, repulsion, impact or simply said "A push", but we must keep in mind this force or push is only possible via Force and Motion laws, therefore the push or (Charge) we experience is an inference to mass or energy on the move (via electromagnetic waves or fields)..
So lets go back and consider at the atomic level each of our particles charges and how they may be perceived via force and motion constructs..
To do this let me imply we have a drill that is capable in drilling through Atoms and lets say we are to drill an atom consisting of a single Proton, neutron and an electron charge (A Hydrogen Atom.).
========

Lets say the Above diagram is our drill or core sampler and lets also imply as our drill samples the atom it plots the following symbols..
So if our drill experiences repulsion it will plot this symbol "<"
and if our drill experiences nothing it will plot this symbol ">"
And after drilling an atom this is what I expect would be plotted for a Hydrogen Atom, we will note for some reason there seems to be no electron..

As you can see after what we thought we drilled a whole Hydrogen Atom, it seems all we have drilled is a single proton or a region of the Universe that is repulsive in all directions (positive charge), {Imagine we tried several times from as many different angles with much the same plots being plotted.. implying indeed we have only drilled a Proton and for some reason the electron is missing..
Lets briefly move on and drill two Hydrogen Atoms to make sure we are drilling our Atoms correctly..
========

And behold we now have a plotted region of the Universe that implies a negative charge and whats more if we consider some key and critical points, we also may have a clear idea where our neutral or neutron areas and or particles would have to be in the above basic pair of hydrogen Atoms, but curiously for some reason with the two hydrogen Atoms only one electron was drilled..
If my crude plots and symbols don't make things clear as to why this is - and with respects to positive, negative and a neutral charge here are each of the charges in colour..(consider carefully Force and Motion LAWS and how they must not be violated)
<> Positive charge or repulsion.
>< Negative charge or percieved attraction.
And for the neutral charge its the most central of each particle and or if we consider how a charge relies on motion its where opposing velocities cancel out..
Err~Let me add another set of symbols "
()" to imply where velocities or a charge is canceled out by its reciprocal..
<
()>
()<
()>
And if that practical model of the Atoms is still not clear let me know..
Oh and I am sure if Force and Motion concepts are not fully understood there will be many challenges and or questions, so feel free to challenge or ask questions about the above, as I am sure others will reason much the same, and if you you dont speak, those with much the same reasoning as you will also miss out if they dont ask or challenge me..
