Solution
The correct option is C Neutrons are charge less
Lets try to recall how electrons and protons were discovered.
- Cathode ray experiment was used for electron discovery
- Canal ray experiment was used for proton discovery
In both the experiments, the results were observed because electrons and protons were charged particles.
As the neutrons are neutral particles, the scientists were unable to observe neutrons. Therefore, its discovery came very late.
