Additional Information

• In an atom electrons (negative) revolves around the nucleus, where as neutrons (no charge) and protons (positive charge) are CONTAINED in nucleus .

• So, the charge on the nucleus is positive charged.

Discovery of Neutrons

As now a days we come to know that neutron doesn't have any charge this theory was purposed by Rutherford.

He discovered it in his gold FOIL invention.

He took a gold foil and he passed α - rays from it , most of them (rays) passed easily, but some of them changed their path. And only few of them bounce back. So, he comes to know that is SOMETHING heavier in the atom and it have positive charge. So, he comes to know that heavy particle is Nucleus and it contains electron and a null charged particle, he CALLED it as Neutrons .
