Neutrons eluded discovery until the 1930s because they lack an electric charge, making them difficult to detect using early experimental techniques that primarily focused on charged particles. It wasn't until the development of more sophisticated experimental methods, such as the use of particle accelerators and cloud chambers, that allowed scientists to indirectly infer the existence of neutrons.

How is Pluto's discovery that of Neptune's?
it was unknown until they found a gravitational pull on Neptune
How was graphite used in 1564 if graphite wasn't discovered until 1889?
most likely its discovery wasn't documented until 1889
Who described neutrons?
Neutrons were described by James Chadwick in 1932 through his experiments showing the existence of a neutral particle with a mass similar to that of a proton. Chadwick's discovery of the neutron was crucial in understanding atomic structure and nuclear reactions.
What are the 2 particles that make up the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Most of the mass of an atom exists in the nucleus. Other smaller sub atomic particles such as quarks exist, but are usually not addressed until advanced physics or chemistry classes.
When Mount Everest wasn't discovered yet what was the highest mountain?
Mount Kangchenjunga was the highest mountain known until the discovery of Everest.
Why did neutrons elude discovery until the 1930's?
Neutrons eluded discovery until the 1930s because they have no electric charge, making them difficult to detect using the experimental methods available at that time. Additionally, their neutral nature meant they were not deflected by electromagnetic fields, which made them harder to study than charged particles. The development of new experimental techniques and the work of scientists like James Chadwick eventually led to the discovery of neutrons in 1932.
How do you write a sentence with elude?
"For so long you've managed to elude my attempts to capture you...until now." "The vision seemed to elude me, one second there and another, not."
Why was Evidence of the existence of neutrons not come until many years after the discoveries of the electron and the proton why?
Electrons and Protons have a charge, which can be detected in a magnetic field. However, neutrons, as the name suggests, are neutrally charged (no charge). So neutrons would not be detected in a magnetic field.
