mostly empty space surrounding a massive nucleus and
the man responsible for the creation of atomic weapons

WHIO WAS ERNEST


RUTHERFORD?
Ernest Rutherford was called one of the greatest experimentalists
after Micheal Faraday. His best work lies in the atomic structure.
And also Ernest Rutherford is known for his pioneering studies of
radioactivity and the atom. He discovered that there are two types
of radiation, alpha and beta particles.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE


ATOM BEFORE
RUTHERFORD
This was the Thomson Atomic Structure or the “plum
pudding” model, in which negatively charged electrons
were like the plums in the atom's positively charged
pudding, was disproved. The Rutherford atomic model
relied on classical physics.

EVIL OR

GENIUS?
Well, Rutherford he was
both at the point but really
it doesn't matter because
he was a scientist, and it
isn't that he was a genius What did he find in the
but his work was and even Atomic Structure?
though his work was He found that the atom
responsible for the atomic consists mostly of empty
bomb but he didn't want space, with its mass
that to be it concentrated in a central
positively charged nucleus.
