OF - The neutrons ; = James Chadwick [1932] | piscovery - Study of the atomic nucleus leading to discovery of - neutrons: postulates of Chadwick's theory ". Since electrons have negligible mass, the mass of the atom i.e. atomic mass = should be equal to the mass of the protons. . However in the case of helium which has two protons in its nucleus ~ the atomic mass was not equal to the mass of the protons. Conclusion it was therefore proved that in the nucleus of the atom are present — es which have no charge, but mass almost equal to the mass of the proton- Thus the discovery in the atomic nucleus - of the neutron was initiated.
