Question

The scattering experiment by J.Chadwick led to the discovery of a nucleus in an atom.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• After the discovery of protons and electrons, it was realized that an atom's entire mass could not be explained by the presence of simply protons and electrons.
• James Chadwick was the one, who for the first time proposed the presence of some neutral particles in the atom.
• These particles have a mass equal to protons.
• These particles are termed neutrons.
• The idea of the presence of a nucleus in an atom was given to Rutherford.

Hence, the given statement is False.
