DISCOVERY OF NEUTRON
CHADWICK
 
EXPERIMENT
Chadwick in an experiment bombarded Be with a-particles. In his experiment he observe
that some very penetrating radiations coming out from Be. These radiations consist of
  material particles. Mass of these particles was nearly equal to the mass of one hydrogen
atom. Since these particles were not deflected by magnetic or electric field ,therefore they
are named as Neutrons.

PROTON
Passage of electricity through the gases at low pressure also resulted in the discovery of
proton.During the discharge tube experiments, a famous scientist Gold Stein observed
  that if a perforated cathode is used, some radiations appear behind the cathode. Since
radiations are coming from anode, therefore, it was assumed that they must carry a
positive charge. These rays are known as Anode Rays.
PROPERTIES OF
 
ANODE RAYS
   
Anode rays travel in straight line.
They consist of material particles.

These rays contain positive charge.
  These rays actually consist of positive ions of various gases used in the experiment.
Their positive charge is either equal to electronic charge (e) or some multiple of it.
These particles which have a mass 1836 times that of the electron are known as
protons.
