Yes, seeing as neutrons are the reason that the same element can have different atomic weights, which explains the existence of isotopes. This is especially useful when using a radioactive element for something, and just for fun, an extra neutron on each hydrogen atom in an ice cube can make it slightly denser than water, giving you ice that will not float in your glass.

Did lavoisier create neutron in his experiments?

Rutherford had been puzzled been puzzled by one observation from his experiments with nuclei. After the collisions, the nuclei seemed to be heavier. Were did this extra mass come from? James Chadwick, a student of Rutherford's, answered this question. The alpha particles themselves were not heavier. The atoms that had been bombarded had given off new particles. Chadwick experimented with these new particles and found that, unlike electron's, the paths of these particles were notaffected by an electric field. To explain his observations, he said that these particles came from the nucleus and had no charge. Chadwick called these particles uncharged particles neutrons(NEW trahnz). His proton-neutron model of the atomic nucleus is still excepted today.

How did the discoveries made by JJ Thompson and James Chadwick shape what you know the atom to look like today?

It should be noted here that no one knows what an atom looks like, and conventional wisdom infers that an atom is just the border of energy that we can see evidence of. This is surely not worded correctly for a scientist--but the point is that a postulate of science goes that we will never actually 'see' an atom, no matter how powerful our microscopes get, because they border the quantum level, where the physical world reveals its true nature as energy.
