James Chadwick was a British physicist born in 1891 who is known for discovering the neutron. He received several honors for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935. Chadwick served in World War I and was a prisoner of war. He also participated in the Manhattan Project during World War II. Chadwick's model of the atom focused on neutrons, differing from Niels Bohr's model which depicted electrons in rings. Both models showed the structure of the atom but represented it differently.
