Atoms and Nuclei..

A stream of alpha particles (much like a stream of tiny bullets) was directed at a thin foil of gold atoms and a detector arranged to surround the sample completely except for a small hole for entry of the particles. The foil was several thousands of atoms thick...

A radioactive source S emitting a particles was collimated into a fine beam and made to fall on a thin gold foil. The a particles scattered in all direction..

Models of Atom - J.J Thomson's and Rutherford's Models - After the discovery of electrons and protons it was necessary to know how these particles are arranged within the atom. Various scientists tried to describe this structure and after subsequent improvements through experiments..

>Cardiac muscle is characterised by long, cylindrical, branched multinucleate muscle fibres with an indistinct sarcolemma Cardiac muscle is involuntary in nature. It never experiences fatigue Cardiac muscle occurs exclusively in the heart Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue in t..

Question: Who discovered the nucleus within an atom? And how? Answer: Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus within an atom in his alpha-ray scattering experiment. The arrangement of the alpha-particle scattering experiment is as follows: Rutherfo..

Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment explained the structure of atom and the size of nucleus. The Bohr's model explained the hydrogen spectrum. Radioactivity occurs due to nuclei being unstable resulting in the emission of three types of radiations having different ..
