Who discovered neutron?

  • A.Chadwick
  • B.Rutherford
  • C.J. J. Thomson
  • D.Curie

Answer: A

The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick.

In 1932 Chadwick showed that the penetrating radiation from beryllium struck by alpha particles consisted of neutral particles with a mass close to that of the proton. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935.

Rutherford discovered the nucleus and proposed that a neutral particle might exist, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, and Marie Curie worked on radioactivity. None of them discovered the neutron.
