Who is generally regarded as the person who discovered the electron, the proton, and the neutron?

British physicist (a scientist specializing in the interaction between matter and energy) Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) is generally credited with discovering the electron, as well as with founding modern atomic physics. In 1897, Thomson researched the travel of electricity through gases. This led to the important discovery that rays emitted by cathodes (negatively charged electrodes) consisted of negatively charged particles called electrons.

The discovery of the electron, in turn, was instrumental in determining the structure of the atom, the smallest unit of matter. New Zealand-born British physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) discovered a positively charged subatomic particle, the proton, in 1919. He also predicted the existence of neutral subatomic particles, or neutrons.

Neutrons were later... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
