  2. Rutherford model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_model

    The Rutherford model is a name for the first model of an atom with a compact nucleus. The concept arose from Ernest Rutherford discovery of the nucleus. Rutherford directed the Geiger–Marsden experiment in 1909, which showed much more alpha particle recoil than J. J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom could explain. Thomson's model had ...

  3. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_scattering...

    In his paper, Rutherford emphasised that a collision with just one atom could produce the same effect on a beta particle if the positive charge of the atom were concentrated at a central point. Rutherford computes the probability of large angle scattering from a single collision with a point charge and demonstrates that it is 3 times larger ...

  4. History of atomic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atomic_theory

    The current theoretical model of the atom involves a dense nucleus surrounded by a probabilistic "cloud" of electrons. Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms. The definition of the word "atom" has changed over the years in response to scientific discoveries.

  5. Nuclear physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_physics

    The discovery, with Rutherford's analysis of the data in 1911, led to the Rutherford model of the atom, in which the atom had a very small, very dense nucleus containing most of its mass, and consisting of heavy positively charged particles with embedded electrons in order to balance out the charge (since the neutron was unknown). As an example ...

  6. Discovery of the neutron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_the_neutron

    A schematic of the nucleus of an atom indicating β − radiation, the emission of a fast electron from the nucleus (the accompanying antineutrino is omitted). In the Rutherford model for the nucleus, a red sphere was a proton with positive charge, and a blue sphere was a proton tightly bound to an electron, with no net charge.

  7. Ernest Rutherford - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Rutherford

    [45] It was Rutherford's interpretation of this data that led him to propose the nucleus, a very small, charged region containing much of the atom's mass. [46] In 1912, Rutherford was joined by Niels Bohr (who postulated that electrons moved in specific orbits about the compact nucleus). Bohr adapted Rutherford's nuclear structure to be ...

  8. Bohr model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    In atomic physics, the Bohr model or Rutherford–Bohr model was the first successful model of the atom. Developed from 1911 to 1918 by Niels Bohr and building on Ernest Rutherford's nuclear model, it supplanted the plum pudding model of J. J. Thomson only to be replaced by the quantum atomic
