Question 7
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..
Summary
Dalton had postulated that matter is made up of atoms, which are indivisible. Thomson was the first to suggest a structure for an atom. According to him, an atom is a positively charged sphere of radius=10 - 1 0 m in which the mass and the positive charge of the h..
Discovery of Neutrons
Although Rutherford's model was enormously successful at explaining the scattering of alpha particles, there was a problem when the experimental data were used to calculate the mass of the nucleus. From the results of the scattering experiments, it was possible to calculate the..
Discovery of Neutrons
Search for the missing particle - Although Rutherford's model was enormously successful at explaining the scattering of alpha particles, there was a problem when the experimental data were used to calculate the mass of the nucleus. From the results of the scattering experiments,..
The Nucleus
Rutherford and his co-workers, performed series of scattering experiments and concluded that the entire mass and the positive charge is concentrated in a very small region at the centre of the atom, known as nucleus. The radius of the nucleus is about 10 - 1 5 m i.e., 10..
Nitrogen
In 1772 Daniel Rutherford discovered Nitrogen. Nitrogen is the first member of group 15 of the periodic table. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule (N 2 ) with a triple bond between the nitrogen atoms (NN). So nitrogen gas is also called dinitrogen. Its electronic configuratio..

Particulate Nature of Matter
Intensive investigation by scientists over the years led to the development of a mental model (the minuscule particles couldn't be actually seen at that time) known as 'dynamic particle model'. All matter is assumed to be made up of particles that are very small, which may be h..

I am Jessica from New York, I got excellent English tutors from Tutor Vista, who helped me lot to overcome my grammar mistakes, Thanks a lot...
I got a very good score in GED because of your great tutors, Thank you Tutor Vista - Pam
I asked a Math question in the chat box in tutorvista. I was amazed to see live response from the tutor who helped me with my questions. That was great. I joined their online regular tutoring so that I can get such help anytime. - Mary
I could help my daughter with studies but now since she studies through this site, I dont have to. This is truly great idea !
