Discovery of the neutron, an Uncommon card
The discovery of the neutron and its properties was central to the extraordinary developments in atomic physics in the first half of the 20th century.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Early in the century, Ernest Rutherford used alpha particle scattering to discover that an atom has its mass and electric charge concentrated in a tiny nucleus.
- By 1920, isotopes of chemical elements had been discovered, the atomic masses had been determined to be approximately integer multiples of the mass of the hydrogen atom, and the atomic number had been identified as the charge on the nucleus.
- Throughout the 1920s, the nucleus was viewed as composed of combinations of protons and electrons, the two elementary particles known at the time, but that model presented several experimental and theoretical contradictions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Discovery of the neutron article was read about 42,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
