When did James Chadwick discover the neutron?

Answer:

"...in 1932 the physicist James Chadwick in England performed a series of experiments showing that the gamma ray hypothesis was untenable. He suggested that in fact the new radiation consisted of uncharged particles of approximately the mass of the proton, and he performed a series of experiments verifying his suggestion. Such uncharged particles were eventually called neutrons...." ESE LE HOLMES GUTIERREZ GONZALEZ GOMEZ RAMIREZ GODINEZ ANGEL DEVIL ELOUISE RUEFANYO HAKEEM!!!
