How is the work of Joseph John Thomson related to that of Ernest Rutherford?

Joseph John Thomson, while at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, circa 1897, discovered the electron while studying cathode rays. His conclusion was that the electron was both a carrier of electricity and a component of all atoms. Ernest Rutherford began his work at Cavendish around the same time, working on radioactivity. Returning later to the Cavendish, around 1919, after his discovery of the nucleus, he succeeded Thomson as Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics. Reference: "The Discovery of Subatomic Particles", Steven Weinberg, Scientific American Library, 1983, page 4.


Who invented the atomic model?

The atomic model was developed by various scientists over time, with contributions from Niels Bohr, Ernest Rutherford, and John Dalton. However, the modern atomic model that we use today, with electrons existing in energy levels around a nucleus, was largely proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913.


Define the three types of Radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma particles and list the name of the scientist who discovered it?

Ernest Rutherford discovered radiation. Alpha is most harmful is ingested, it cannot penetrate the sign, nor paper or metal or lead, beta is able to penetrate paper and metal, and gamma, the most harmful of the three is able to penetrate paper, metal, lead, and skin. beta can penetrate the skin after a long period of time.


What is the dimension of time period?

Time period is a dimension of time and is measured in seconds.


Who provided evidence for the existence of an atomic nucleas?

In 1911, the scientist Ernest Rutherford directed a beam of alpha particles (each one equivalent to a helium nucleus, with 2 protons and 2 neutrons) at a thin sheet of gold foil - many of the alpha particles (with a charge of +2) were deflected straight back, repelled by the positively charged atomic nuclei within the gold foil. This provided experimental evidence for the existence of the nucleus for the first time.

What was the first atomic model to contain empty space within it?

The atomic model that contained empty spaces within it was given by Mendeleev. The gaps were left for the elements that were not discovered at that time.


Why did Ernest Rutherford experiment in the dark?

Ernest Rutherford was a British physicist who is most well-known for his study of radioactive materials. He would sit in the dark for long periods of time before his experiments, to ensure his eyes were sensitive enough, as he would then try to count flashes given off by the materials.


What does it mean to have a half life?

A half life means the time required for something to fall to half its initial value. The original term was used by Ernest Rutherford's discovery of the principle in 1907 as "half life period," but was shortened to "half life," in the 1950's.
