Rutherfords experiments lead to the discovery of what?

Rutherford's experiments led to the discovery of the nucleus of an atom and the existence of protons within it. By conducting the famous gold foil experiment, Rutherford concluded that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged center containing protons.


What scientist's experiment led to the discovery of protons?

There are two scientists. Goldstein is the first person that found it.


Who coined the word Proton?

The word "proton" was coined by Ernest Rutherford in 1920 during his experiments with radiation. Rutherford used this term to describe the positively charged particles he identified in the nucleus of an atom.


Scientists who discovered protons?

Protons were discovered when the nucleus of atoms were discovered. Electrons were already known about, so when the nucleus was discovered, it was known that it had to contain positively charged particles: protons. The nucleus was discovered by Ernest Rutherford by shooting alpha particles (helium nuclei, basically helium without the electrons) at a thin sheet of gold. Most of the alpha particles went straight through, but some if them were scattered. Rutherford deduced that these particles had hit something in the foil that didn't take up a large percentage of space: the nuclei of the gold atoms.


What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two neutrons and two protons?

Used by Rutherford in his experiment made of two protons and two neutrons are alpha particles. Rutherford discovered the nucleus using his gold foil experiment.

Who said Protons exist?

Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that protons exist.
