In 1932, the neutron was discovered by physicist James Chadwick. This discovery was significant because it revealed a neutral particle within the atomic nucleus, which helped explain the mass of atoms and the stability of nuclei. The identification of neutrons also contributed to the development of nuclear physics and the understanding of atomic structure.

What was James Chadwick's contribution to the atom?

AnswerJames Chadwick was the first man to discover the neutron-the neutrally charged particle of the nucleus (which also contains protons, positively charged particles). Electrons whizz around the nucleus (which is the heaviest part by far of the atom) on "orbits".


Who discovered the three parts of the atom and when?

In 1808 John Dalton made the "atomic theory" that said a atom was one solid mass. Than in 1904 Hantaro found the proton. In 1932 James Chadwick descovered the neutron. in 1897 j.j Thomson descovered the electron .....


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.

What part of the atom was discovered by Rutherford?

Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.


What planet was discovered in 1932?

No planet was discovered in 1932. You probably mean Pluto. That was discovered in 1930. It has since been downgraded to a "dwarf planet".


What was the last part of the atom to be discovered?

an electrons and protons were theorised in the late 1800's and proved shortly after, so its not those, most recent discovery's have been Quarks, Leptons, and Gauge Bosons. to my knowledge these were all theorised around the 1960's and have pretty much all been officially discovered now. the most recent being the Tau Neutrino in 2000. still a few of the Theorised particles to find though, with the Higgs-Boson being the most famous of the elusive particles. now that the LHC is completed, and only repair bills getting in the way, hopefully there should be some new ones to add to the list pretty soon
