Concept:

  • The electrons, protons, and neutrons are the three main fundamental particles of an atom of a molecule. 

  • In the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons.
  • The electrons revolve around the nucleus of the atom.

The number of protons = Atomic number of an element.

Nuclei = neutron + proton

Explanation:

  • The neutron was discovered by Chadwick in February 1932.
  • The electron was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897.
  • The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1920.
