Explain why both thomson and rutherford's experiments unable to deduce the existence of the neutron?

Atom is composed of Neutrons, protons and electrons.

Two scientists tried to discover the nucleus but their discovery was not sufficient.

Rutherford's model or Gold-Foil experiment : He took a Gold foil & passed Alpha- particles ( - carrying 4+ charge) He put a photogenic film around the foil to see where the particles are going. He assumed that the -particles would pass through the foil because it was very thin. But to his surprise he found an opposite observation. He found that the particles bounced back. This observation would either mean that the particles are either hitting something very hard or something carrying positive charge as positive charges repel each other. So he made a point that the nucleus has some positive charge that is composed of protons and therefore could not explain anything about neutrons.

Thomson's model or Plum-Pudding Model :  He proposed a theory just after the discovery of electrons. He proposed that an atom is similar to a sphere carrying positive charge in which electrons (negatively charged ) are present. His model was similar to the plum pudding or watermelon in which electrons look similar to the dry fruits which were embedded in the pudding that resembled a positive charged sphere. Similarly, in watermelon, the red edible part resembles the positively charged sphere whereas the seeds resembles the electrons. He proposed that the atom is neutral as the positive and negative charges are equally balanced. His model was unable to describe the nucleus of the atom and thus was unable to describe the neutrons.

the answer is c i believe
