Answer:

Nucleus, electrons, and protons

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple experiments and results accumulated over the years. Dalton is credited through his ray cathode tube experiments, and Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment led to the discovery of the positively charged nucleus and protons. His student Chadwick continued his studies and discovered the neutron.
