In 1900, J.J. Thomson discovered electrons in atoms. In 1886, E. Goldstein discovered positively charged canal rays, later identified as protons. In 1932, Chadwick discovered neutrons, neutral particles in atoms.
3. In 1900, J. J. Thomson discovered the presence of
the negatively charged particles called electrons
in the atom.
In 1886, E. Goldstein discovered new radiations in
gas discharge and called them canal rays. These
rays were positively charged. This later led to the
discovery of the positively charged particles
called protons in the atom.
In 1932 Chadwick discovered the presence of
particles having no charge in the atom called
neutrons
