Atom The nucleus is the very dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom.
What you learn in Theory:

The neutron is a subatomic hadron particle which has the symbol n or n0, no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.

What you learn in Practice:

Neutrons are necessary within an atomic nucleus as they bind with protons via the nuclear force; protons are unable to bind with each other (see diproton) because their mutual electromagnetic repulsion is stronger than the attraction of the nuclear force.
