Neutrons have been called nuclear glue because... why?

The presence of neutrons in nuclei allows the strong force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between protons. If it weren't for the presence of neutrons, there would be no atoms in the universe other than hydrogen.


What part of Dalton's theory of was disproved when scientists discovered that atoms contain protons electrons and neutrons?

John Dalton believed that atoms were the fundamental building blocks of matter, and that they could not be created, destroyed or split. However he was wrong, because atoms are made out of subatomic particles such as Protons, Neutrons and Electrons - and later still, it was discovered Protons and Neutrons too are made of even smaller particles.


When neutrons were discovered were these neutrons created in the experiments?

Neutrons were discovered through experiments involving bombarding beryllium with alpha particles. Neutrons were not created in these experiments, but were instead found as subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of atoms.


How does the presence of hydrogen affect the behavior of neutrons?

The presence of hydrogen can affect the behavior of neutrons by causing them to scatter more easily. Hydrogen atoms have a high scattering cross-section for neutrons, meaning they are more likely to interact with and deflect neutrons as they pass through a material. This can impact the way neutrons move through a substance and how they are detected in experiments.

Protrons and neutrons are these?

Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms (with the exception of hydrogen atoms, which have no neutrons).


Who was the scientist that discovered neutrons?

James Chadwick is the scientist credited with the discovery of neutrons in 1932. He conducted experiments that led to the identification of the neutron as a fundamental particle found in the nucleus of atoms.


Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?

No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
