Nearly a third said the atom was first split in Geneva, Switzerland (32%) with only 12% correctly identifying Manchester, where Ernest Rutherford produced the first artificially-induced nuclear reaction at his laboratory in 1917.
Q. Who is discovered Proton?
Proton
Table of Contents
| The quark content of a proton. The color assignment of individual quarks is arbitrary, but all three colors must be present. Forces between quarks are mediated by gluons. | |

| Classification | Baryon |
| Discovered | Observed as H+ by Eugen Goldstein (1886). Identified in other nuclei (and named) by Ernest Rutherford (1917–1920). |

Q. What is another name for protons?
subatomic particles (noun)
Q. What are protons used for?
Proton therapy is used as a treatment for cancer and some noncancerous tumors. Proton therapy may be used as the only treatment for your condition. Or it may be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy.
Q. Is a proton negative or positive?
Protons and Electrons A proton carries a positive charge (+) and an electron carries a negative charge (-), so the atoms of elements are neutral, all the positive charges canceling out all the negative charges. Atoms differ from one another in the number of protons, neutrons and electrons they contain.
Q. What happens if an electron is near a proton?
In time, the electron reacts with the proton via its overlapping portion, collapses to a point in the nucleus, and disappears as it becomes part of the new neutron. Because the atom now has one less proton, electron capture is a type of radioactive decay that turns one element into another element.
