who discovered the proton?

Answer 1

Thomson and
E. goldstein

Answer 2

Ernest Rutherford is generally credited with the discovery of the proton.

Prior to Rutherford, Eugene Goldstein had observed canal rays, which were composed of positively charged ions. Goldstein suggested that since the atom is electrically neutral there must be a positively charged particle in the atom and tried to discover it. But what Goldstein assumed to be a proton was actually an ion.

Answer 3

Ernest Rutherford is credited to have discovered the proton in 1918 through his gold foil experiments; however, Eugene Goldstein years earlier observed positive "canal rays" and suggested there existed positively charged sub-atomic particles.

Answer 4

Ernest Rutherford is generally credited with the discovery of the proton. In 1918 Rutherford noticed that when alpha particles were shot into nitrogen gas, his scintillation detectors showed the signatures of hydrogen nuclei. Rutherford determined that the only place this hydrogen could have come from was the nitrogen, and therefore nitrogen must contain hydrogen nuclei. He thus suggested that the hydrogen nucleus, which was known to have an atomic number of 1, was an elementary particle.
