Because neutrons have no charge and thus could not be manipulated in electric or magnetic fields.

When did Albert Einstein win the Nobel prize in physics?

Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the photoelectric effect.


Component of an atom?

An atom consists of three main components: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in "shells."


Can atoms be divided into smaller particles?

Yes, atoms can be divided into smaller particles called subatomic particles, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are the building blocks of atoms and cannot be further divided into smaller particles in traditional chemical reactions.


What particle is needed to begin a nuclear chain reaction?

Neutrons are the important particles of nuclear chain reactions and the reactions depend on them. The neutrons do not really start the fission, reaction, however, because the neutrons come from fission in the fuel.The material in the fuel, typically a mix of 235U and 238U, undergoes fission spontaneously. When a fission event happens, more neutrons, typically two or three, are emitted. These bounce about from atom to atom, until they cause another atom to undergo fission, releasing more neutrons to increase the rate at which atoms undergo fission.But the neutrons needed for the chain reaction are actually produced by the fuel spontaneously, and these are produce in an ongoing manner with or without critical mass. So it is not a particle that starts the chain reaction; it is the act of putting together a critical mass.


Is static electricity is an excess of neutrons?

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.

How did neutrons elude discovery until the 1930s?

Neutrons eluded discovery until the 1930s because they lack an electric charge, making them difficult to detect using early experimental techniques that primarily focused on charged particles. It wasn't until the development of more sophisticated experimental methods, such as the use of particle accelerators and cloud chambers, that allowed scientists to indirectly infer the existence of neutrons.


How do you write a sentence with elude?

"For so long you've managed to elude my attempts to capture you...until now." "The vision seemed to elude me, one second there and another, not."


Why was Evidence of the existence of neutrons not come until many years after the discoveries of the electron and the proton why?

Electrons and Protons have a charge, which can be detected in a magnetic field. However, neutrons, as the name suggests, are neutrally charged (no charge). So neutrons would not be detected in a magnetic field.
