James Chadwick shot alpha particles at a Beryllium target. Only the neutrons went through, not the protons. This allowed Chadwick to observe particles with no charge and find their mass. Thus, Chadwick discovered neutrons, and added them to Rutherford's model of the atom.

How did chadwick use the results of his experiment to come up with his theory?

Chadwick's experiment on the deflection of alpha particles by a thin sheet of beryllium led to the discovery of the neutron, as the neutral particle responsible for this deflection. Based on his results, Chadwick proposed that the atom had a neutral particle in its nucleus, now known as the neutron, which explained the missing mass in atoms. This led to the development of the neutron theory of the atomic nucleus.


When neutrons were discovered were these neutrons created in experiment?

No, Ernest Rutherford's student James Chadwick wondered where all of this extra mass came from so in a experiment he discovered the neutrons.

Neutron was discovered by?

The neutron was discovered by Sir James Chadwick in 1932. Chadwick conducted experiments that provided evidence for the existence of a neutral subatomic particle within the atomic nucleus, which he named the neutron.


Why did Chadwick conclude that the particles produced by his experiment were neutral in change?

That wasn't even an answer! The answer to the question is this: Chadwick concluded that the particles produced by his experiment were neutral in charge because a charged object did not deflect their path.
