James Chadwick is given credit for the discovery of the neutron in 1932.
Chadwick did experiments to demonstrate the existence of a neutral particle in the nucleus that was later given the name neutron.
For this, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935.
Chadwick was not the first person to assert the existence of the neutron, or rather was not the first to assert the existence of a neutral particle in the nucleus with the characteristics of the neutron.
Santiago Antunes de Mayolo, a Peruvian scientist, proposed the existence of such a particle as the neutron at the Third Scientific Panamerican Congress in 1924.
Ettore Majorana, an Italian theoretical physicist, is credited with make a proposal of the existence of this particle also, but this was not documented in a scientific publication.
As with many scientific developments, ideas form over time and with different people. Credit of single person for a single "discovery" is not the same as saying the ideas all evolved from one person.

no electric charge. the nuclear theory at the time explained the atomic masses by assuming the nucleus contained a number of protons equal to the atomic mass number and enough electrons to cancel the charge beyond that of the atomic number of the element.
It was Albert Ghiorso who discovered or co-discovered the most elements, 12.As a member of both the Manhattan Project, and later a researcher at UC Berkeley, Ghiorso and his teams uncovered elements 95 (americium) through 106 (seaborgium). All of them are radioactive; and all of them are man-made, having long since decayed in nature.Of them, americium has seen the greatest commercial use, being found in most modern smoke detectors.

In 1920, Ernest Rutherford created a hypothesis about the existence of neutrons. However, it is believed that the neutron was first discovered in 1932. The person credited with this discovery was Sir James Chadwick.
