Ernest Rutherford's groundbreaking work on the structure of the atom, particularly his gold foil experiment, did not constitute a mistake but rather a significant advancement in scientific understanding. His findings led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the realization that atoms are mostly empty space, which revolutionized atomic theory. While some of his interpretations and models were later refined or corrected by subsequent research, his contributions laid the foundational framework for modern atomic physics. Overall, Rutherford's work was pivotal and marked a major milestone in the field.
No. The Space Shuttle were built for near Earth obital missions.
He discovered the southeast from FL to the Mississppi River. He was the first European to see the Mississippi.
Robert Brown made his discovery of Brownian motion by observing pollen grains under a microscope in 1827. He noticed that the pollen grains were constantly in a jittery, random motion, which he later attributed to the motion of water molecules in the surrounding solution pushing the pollen grains.
Edwin Hubble's discovery of red shift demonstrated that galaxies are moving away from each other, providing evidence for the expanding universe. This discovery supported the Big Bang theory and fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe's structure and evolution.
No, Sir Ernest Shackleton did not reach the South Pole. His famous Antarctic expedition in 1914, known as the Endurance expedition, aimed to cross the continent but was thwarted when his ship became trapped in ice. Instead of reaching the pole, Shackleton and his crew faced harrowing conditions and ultimately focused on survival and returning home. Shackleton's leadership and resilience during the ordeal became legendary, but he never achieved the goal of reaching the South Pole.
Ernest Rutherford and his team conducted the gold foil experiment, which led to the discovery of the positively charged nucleus in atoms. James Chadwick then discovered the neutron as a neutral particle within the nucleus.
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.
electron or atoms I believe, taking up space
Ernest Rutherford and James Chadwick were the scientists who discovered the subatomic particles that make up the nucleus. Rutherford discovered the positively charged protons, while Chadwick discovered the uncharged neutrons.
he practically discovered the neutron which then some scientist came out with something called fission
He found that the atom was made up of mostly empty space.
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.
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.
Ernest Rutherford did not make the nuclear bomb. He was a physicist who conducted pioneering work in the field of nuclear physics, particularly on the structure of the atom. The development of the nuclear bomb was primarily led by other scientists during the Manhattan Project in World War II.
Make a mistake is correct.
I guess it can be error? An error is the mistake, to make a mistake is to err.
Rutherford came up with the basic structure of an atom using his gold foil experiment. He shot alpha particles(hydrogen nuclei) at a peice of gold foil and watched the results. He found from this experiment that the atom contains a dense, positively charged nucleus, negative particles in "electron clouds" and is made up of mostly empty space.
