Why did many banks collapse in the early 1930's?
It was because of the great depression, which meant the stock market crash. Of course the stock market crashing would cause the money to drop in its worth for example if you had £1000 it would drop down to £10 (just an example). People had money stored in banks, so the bank would owe the people lots of money but the money would be worth less so they would need more money to repay the people, but in fact they didn't have enough, in turn this caused the banks to crash.

Why did neutrons elude discovery until the 1930's?
Neutrons eluded discovery until the 1930s because they have no electric charge, making them difficult to detect using the experimental methods available at that time. Additionally, their neutral nature meant they were not deflected by electromagnetic fields, which made them harder to study than charged particles. The development of new experimental techniques and the work of scientists like James Chadwick eventually led to the discovery of neutrons in 1932.
