Explain the process of how James Chadwick found the neutron.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Discovery of neutron

Explanation:

Until 1932, the atom was believed to be composed of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, after successful discovery of electron by J.J. Thompson and proton by  Ernest Rutherford.

In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium atoms with alpha particles.

As Chadwick had previously seen in experiment conducted by Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie, they had bombarded a sample of beryllium with alpha radiation.

Chadwick repeated the experiment and observed an unknown radiation, this showed no deflection what-so-ever.

He repeated this experiment by bombarding other materials, like helium, nitrogen and lithium,

Finally, Chadwick found that this radiation was composed of particles with a neutral electrical charge and had approximate mass of a proton.

This particle was then known as the neutron.

Explanation:

Using stratified random sampling, researchers must identify characteristics, divide the population into strata, and proportionally choose individuals for the representative sample. ... For example, individuals who are too busy to participate will be under-represented in the representative sample.
