Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms consist mostly of empty space, with a small, positively charged nucleus at the center containing most of the atom's mass. He found that atoms emit two types of radiation: alpha and beta particles. Rutherford also proposed the existence of the neutron, a particle with mass but no charge that could pair with a proton in the nucleus. His pioneering work on radioactivity and the structure of the atom laid the foundations for the field of nuclear physics and our modern understanding of atomic structure.

GRADE : 8 SUBJECT : CHEMISTRY ERNEST RUTHERFORD INFORMATION PICTURE Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, (30 August 1871 – 19 October 1937) was a New Zealand-born British physicist who came to be known as the father of nuclear physics. Encyclopedia Britannica considers him to be the greatest experimentalist. DISCOVERY Ernest Rutherford is known for his pioneering studies of radioactivity and the atom. He discovered that there are two types of radiation, alpha and beta particles, coming from uranium. He found that the atom consists mostly of empty space, with its mass concentrated in a central positively charged nucleus. RUTHERFORS’S MODEL CHARGED PARTICLES In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. ... Rutherford also put out the idea that there could be a particle with mass but no charge. He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. RUTHERFORD MODEL SHOWING ORBIT APPRECIATION RUTHERFORDS RESEARCH HAS HELPED TODAY CENTUARY VERY EASY TO LEARN THE ELEMENTS ,ATOMS,MOLECULE AN D MUCH MORE .WE SHOULD BE THANKFULL TO HIM THANK YOU
