A neutron is unstable when it is outside of the nucleus. Then it is called a "free neutron" and generally undergoes Beta decay to stabilize.

a free neutron,free electron , free proton are unstable

becos a neutral charged particle will be more stable than a charged particle but in case of neutron the nuclear force is predominantly higher. it always ready to bind the charges
