Rutherford and his team investigated the structure of matter using natural radioactivity and discovered that atoms have a nucleus with positive charge. Rutherford put forward a model of the atom to explain the things his team found in their experiments, and this was an important step in our understanding of atomic structure. The work continued and resulted in the first nuclear reactions. Although Cockroft and Walton actually split the atom, the procedure derived from Rutherford's work. The object of all these experiments was to understand the structure of matter.

∙ 12y agoErnest Rutherford was the first person to split the atom.
He is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton. This led to the first experiment to split the nucleus in a fully controlled manner, performed by two students working under his direction, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, in 1932.

What year did Eileen Rutherford die?
Ernest Rutherford died in 1937
Who discovered beta rays?
Ernst Rutherford discovered beta decay. Henri Becquerel discovered that there were emissions somewhat like X-rays originating from uranium. Ernst Rutherford discovered that two different kinds of emissions were coming from the uranium, and he named these alpha and beta. He published a paper on this in 1897.
Who discovered that there is a small dense positively charged nucleus?
Dmitri Ivanenko proposed the idea of a neutron and proton nucleus in 1932, the nucleus was itself discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford while reviewing the famous Geiger--Marsden experiment of a few years previous.
When did wet wet wet break up what tear and what year did they get back together?
Wet wet wet split up in 1997 xx Emily
What if wheat is grown year after year in the same field?
The dirt would dry out and the crop yield would lower year after year.
What year did Ernest Rutherford invent the atom?
1925
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 year did Niels Bohr find that most of an atom mass is in the nucleus?
This discovery is from Ernest Rutherford (approx. 1913).
When did Ernest Rutherford propose the plum pudding model of the atom?
The ''plum pudding atomic model" is from J. J. Thomson, year 1904.
What year did Eileen Rutherford die?
Ernest Rutherford died in 1937
What year were found protons?
