How did ernest Rutherford make a difference in the world you live in?

Ernest Rutherford was a New Zealand-born British physicist who became known as the father of nuclear physics. He discovered the nucleus of the atom in 1911.


What Discoveries Did Ernest Rutherford Make?

electron or atoms I believe, taking up space


What contribution did Ernest Rutherford make to the atomic energy?

he practically discovered the neutron which then some scientist came out with something called fission


What year did ernest Rutherford make a contribution to the atomic model?

He didn't exactly "discover" the nucleus. In 1911 he theorized about the atom having its positive charges in a very small nucleus. In 1921 he postulated about the existence of the neutron in the nucleus. The first experiment to split the atom in a controlled manner was performed by him and two students in 1932.


What important discovery did Ernest Rutherford make?

He found that the atom was made up of mostly empty space.


Which two scientist discovered particles that make up the nucleus?

Ernest Rutherford discovered protons in 1920, and James Chadwick discovered neutrons (which Rutherford postulated) in 1932. Each won a Nobel Prize for their contributions to nuclear physics.


How did ernest Rutherford make the nuclear bomb?

I'm 99% sure that it's illegal to disclose the process for making nuclear bombs exactly. You're on your own.


Scientists make a mistake?

Yes scientists can make mistakes, they are only people and all people can make mistakes. However the scientific methodrequires that any scientific discovery is repeatable and can be authenticated independently. This means that if a mistake is made it will likely be discovered.


Which is right do a mistake or make a mistake?

Make a mistake is correct.


What is a word that means To make a mistake?

I guess it can be error? An error is the mistake, to make a mistake is to err.


How did Rutherford make out that 1 in 20000 alpha particles retraced its path?

Actually, it was two students of Rutherford who made this discovery. Ernest Marsden, and Hans Geiger, both of whom went on to better things later in life. For their experiments, they had to sit in a darkened room till their eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and the they fired their particles at a gold foil, their target. The diffraction was recorded on the far side when the particles hit a ZnS screen, which fluoresced briefly. It was their idea to erect the detector screen towards the near side of the target, and observed the reflected particles. It was a few weeks before Rutherford actually saw their results, and was amazed by what he saw. As to the numbers, that merely came out of the mass of data.


Do or make a mistake?

You "make" a mistake. The verb "make" is commonly used when referring to errors or faults in actions or decisions. For example, you can say "I made a mistake in my calculations."
