Neutrons have been around since the beginning of the universe, no person created them.
Neutrons were first proposed to exist by Earnest Rutherford in 1920, but their existence wasn't verified until 1932 by James Chadwick.

∙ 12y agoErnest Rutherford, in 1920, was the first to speculate on their existence.
By 1930, physicists had detected them but were not sure what they were.
In 1932, James Chadwick discovered their nature, and gave them their name.

What is the structure of an atom described as?
electrons in orbit about a nucleus of protons and neutrons
What is the mass number of an atom of chlorine that has 16 neutrons in its nucleus?
All chlorine atoms contain 17 protons in each nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, the atom described in the question has a mass number of 35.
Do isotopes lose electrons?
The term isotope is used to indicate the different varieties of a single element, based upon variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Every atom can be described as an isotope if we specify the number of neutrons. And every atom can lose electrons (a process officially called ionization). There is no relation between the number of neutrons and the loss of electrons.
The nucleus of an atom is constituted of?
Protons and Neutrons.
How many neutrons does cl have?
Cl-35 isotope has 18 neutrons Cl-37 isotope has 20 neutrons
What is best described as an atom?
A core of protons and neutrons surronded by electrons.
What is the structure of an atom described as?
electrons in orbit about a nucleus of protons and neutrons
A(n) is described as a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by an electron cloud.?
Atomic number is the equivalent of the number of protons in an atomic nucleus.
What is the mass number of an atom of chlorine that has 16 neutrons in its nucleus?
All chlorine atoms contain 17 protons in each nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, the atom described in the question has a mass number of 35.

How many neutrons would an aluminum atom have?
In the Periodic Table aluminium is described as [27/13]Al 27 is the atomic mass ; the total of all the neutrons protons (nucleons) 13 is the atomic number ; the total of all the protons in the nucleus. Hencethe total neutrons is the mass subtracted from the number. 27 - 13 = 14 is the total number of neutrons in aluminium.
Is your brain strong to answer this mind test?
Brains are not strong or weak. Muscles can be described in that fashion. The brain is a lump of neutrons and similar nervous tissue, not a muscle.
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
What are the 3 atoms of oxygen?
The three stable atomic isotopes of Oxygen are 16O, 17O, 18O, with 8, 9, and 10 neutrons respectively. In addition 17 radioactive isotopes have been described.
What are the main subatomic particles located in the atom?
protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.
How many neutrons do protons have?
Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.
How many neutrons have an atom with a mass number of 20 and 11 neutrons?
How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
