Possitively charged particles named α particles are emitted from radio active sources.When<br />

fall on to the instrument to detect charged particals, it causes a deflection.(Fig. a)<br />

In 1932 James Chadwick conducted an experiment form which it was founded that when a<br />

thin Berylium sheet was place in between the radio active source and the detector no deflection<br />

was seen ( Fig. b)<br />

When a paraffin sheet was place between the Berylium α<br />

sheet and the detector tere was a<br />

deflection. (Fig. c)<br />
