  • What did Chadwick discover?
    Existence of neutrons in the nucleus
  • What did Rutherford experiement?
    He fired alpha particles at gold foil, most went through but some bounced back. This showed that most of the mass was in the centre of the atom in a nucleus with a positive charge and that most of the atom is empty space.
