James Chadwick was a British physicist who discovered the neutron in 1932. This discovery led to the development of nuclear physics and had a significant impact on our understanding of atomic structure.
Proton: A positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Electron: A negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
Nucleus: The central part of an atom, containing protons and neutrons, where most of an atom's mass is concentrated.
