More About neutron
Neutrons were found by a man named James Chadwick. He found them in 1932. This was a big deal for science. It helped us learn more about atoms.
Neutrons help make up the things we see. They are in all matter, like water and air. Without neutrons, atoms would not be the same.
In the future, we will learn more about neutrons. They are still a big part of science. Neutrons help us understand how the world works.
