He is sometimes called the discoverer of protons. He did experiments with cathode ray tubes, which knock electrons off atoms and attract them to a positively-charged electrode (the cathode). He noticed that a second stream of particles was attracted to the negatively-charged electrode (the anode), so he called them anode rays. However, it was left to one of his students to discover that these rays were sometimes pure protons. His experiments gave him a picture of atomic structure that was decades ahead of its time, and similar to what we know today. However, he did not follow up on his work, and was largely ignored by his peers.

How do hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom?

Hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom by helping to balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. Neutrons also play a role in determining the mass of the atom and can affect its stability by influencing the nuclear forces within the nucleus.
