    In the year of 1932 James Chadwick conducted a series

    of experiments that would change the world of science forever.

    Although we now know that there are protons, neutrons, and

    electrons in an atom. In Chadwick's time most of this was

    still being experimented upon. In the beginning the

    experiments he did were to prove that if alpha particles

    (two protons and two neutrons bound together) fell on light

    elements such as beryllium, boron, and lithium gamma radiation

    (A type of radioactive decay that has the shortest wavelength

    but it is the most energetic form of decay) would not be the

    result. Chadwick's hypothesis was correct, it wasn't gamma

    radiation but rather a beam of neutrons.
