11 lugl 1932 anni - Chadwick Discovers The Neutron
Descrizione:
Using alpha particles, Chadwick discovered a neutral atomic particle with a mass close to a proton. So the neutron was discovered. Chadwick's experiment included projecting alphaparticles toward Beryllium "the light element". The emitted particles after enduring the Beryllium target (becomes neutrons) and fall on the paraffin wax.The paraffin wax in turn releases another type of particle (protons). At that time atoms were thought to be made up of protons and electrons.
