#"James Chadwick........."#

Explanation:

#"James Chadwick (1891-1974)"#, was the student of Ernest Rutherford, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935.

See [the wiki entry.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Chadwick)

The discovery of the neutron was arguably a much harder experimental proposition that the discovery of the electron or the proton, given that the neutron has NO intrinsic electric charge.
