OK so, the neutron was found by Chadwick, and it has no charge and it was the hardest atom charge o find because of actually a women named Joliot-Curie found the first hint of the atom but she rarely gets credited for it because she was a woman and at the time they didn't believe that women could be scientists,philospheres, etc.

hope this was helpful to u (:

A neutron is hard to detect partly because it has no charge, which means they are only detected when they collide with the nucleus of an atom. Such detectors as Geiger Counters can pick up ionizing that does not require such an actual collision, so some other types of particles are much easier to detect.

Neutron detectors react to background noise. This means that a good filter, such as good software, is important to filter the noise out.

Another problem is that different detectors respond best to neutrons of different energies. Some respond well to low energy neutrons, others to high energy neutrons.

The origins of cosmic rays are difficult to locate for several reasons; perhaps the most salient reason is the transient nature of events that create them. Most are thought to originate in supernova explosions, which can be hard to predict. Another reason is an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms that generate them. While recent evidence has shown it to be a near-certainty that supernovae are a source, there remains some debate on the exact process. Also, they are though to be created by active galactic nuclei (powered by the immense gravitation of black holes) and also possibly in gamma bursts; each of which has a varying degrees of difficulty to predict and observe.

In the night sky, there do exist some known sources of cosmic rays, for example the Crab Nebula or the centers of specific galaxies; yet again while the location may yield clues to their origin much about cosmic rays remains somewhat mysterious and subjects of ongoing study.

Neutrinos are hard to detect because they pass through almost everything without making a mark.

James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. It was so hard to find because it is electrically neutral and is therefore undetectable itself with electronic equipment.

When neutron were discovered were these neutrons created in the 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.

they didnt the tombs were so greatly built that they were very hard to find. some have been discovered but a lot are still missing or unidentified.


Why could the neutron not be discovered in same experiments as the electron and proton?

Early experiments were based off attraction. The neutron had no charge to attract or repel or to be attracted or repelled. so these experiments could not figure out that there was a neutral particle in the nucleus.


What is the subatomic particle discovered by Chadwick?

In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron. Neutrons help stabilize the protons in the atom's nucleus. Because the nucleus is so tightly packed together, the positively charged protons would tend to repel each other normally. Neutrons help to reduce the repulsion between protons and stabilize the atom's nucleus. Neutrons always reside in the nucleus of atoms and they are about the same size as protons. However, neutrons do not have any electrical charge; they are electrically neutral.


How did jimmy neutron get his name?

He was born with a high IQ and was eager to learn. So he read a lot of books and he understood everything and so he learned a lot and that is what you call smart, I guess. ---------- In the episode "Clash of the Cousins," it was stated that there was a "genius gene" that ran in the Neutron family, and only him and Baby Eddie (his evil cousin) had it.

How can a charged atom attract a neutron?

A neutron has no charge, so a charged atom (ion) cannot attract a neutron.
