Daily 40 no. – 17 Ernest Rutherford Daily 40 Hall of Fame! Congratulations to these writers! New-Zealand-born British scientist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) was the first to accomplish transmutation when he transmuted nitrogen into oxygen. He created the Rutherford model of the atom, which theorized that atoms were composed of positively charged nuclei orbited by negatively charged electrons; he also hypothesized about the existence of neutrons. --Chantal Born in New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford lived from 1871-1937. He published the atomic theory, stating that atoms each had a positive nucleus surrounded by negative particles, or electrons. Rutherford contributed to the addition of atomic numbers to the periodic table. In addition, he discovered alpha and beta rays. --Christine Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand born British chemist from 1871-1937, discovered the nucleus and created the planetary model for atoms with his gold foil experiment. This helped him formulate the periodic table according to protons. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908. Rutherfordium was also named after him. --Isaac Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) was a British chemist and physicist; he discovered that atoms had a charged nucleus. Then he established the Rutherford model of the atom, which had a nucleus and tiny electrons circling it. With his ideas that lead to atomic numbers he greatly influenced the periodic table. --Denise Ernest Rutherford, a British chemist from 1872 to 1937, was known for discovering protons by shooting alpha particles through foil. He observed that some were repulsed, so there were positive charges in the foil’s atoms. This led to atomic numbers, which were the key to completing the periodic table. --Eric Ernest Rutherford was a British scientist who lived from 1871 to 1937 and made many advancements chemistry and physics, such as discovering the nucleus of an atom through his gold foil experiment, splitting the first atom, and various discoveries on radiation, all of which earned him knighthood in 1916. --Madeline Living from 1871 to 1937, Ernest Rutherford was New Zealand born but spent most of his life in England. He created the names alpha, beta and gamma to classify the various forms of rays and observed and named radioactive “half-life.” He also discovered protons. --Alanna British chemist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) is best known for his gold foil experiment, in which he beamed alpha particles to a thin sheet of gold and discovered that a positive charge (contained within the nucleus of an atom) existed, causing the deflection of some of those particles. --Dawy Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) discovered protons which were the positive charged particles of an atom. From this experiment, he also concluded that the size of protons were very tiny compared to the size of an atom. Rutherfordium is named after him to honor his discovery of this element. --Dee Dee Ernest Rutherford, a British chemist and physicist was born August 30, 1871 and died October 19, 1937. He is known for discovering that atoms have a charged nucleus. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for this. He is also credited for splitting the atom in 1917. --Eyad Daily 40 no. – 17 Ernest Rutherford Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) was a British chemist, born in New Zealand with 11 siblings. He discovered rutherfordium, was the founder of alpha rays, beta rays, and the laws of radioactive decay, and identified alpha particles as mostly helium nuclei. Most importantly, he hypothesized the nuclear structure of an atom. --Gennelle Ernest Rutherford(1872-1937) was a British chemist and physicist. Called the “father of nuclear physics,” he discovered the nucleus and created an accurate atomic model. He won the Nobel Prize in 1907. He split the atom, and attempted to split the nucleus. He sparked the transition from chemistry to nuclear physics. --Jaya Ernest Rutherford (British, 1871 – 1937) is most famous for discovering the atom through his gold foil experiment, where he shot alpha particles through a sliver of gold foil and discovered they scattered due to the atom. Rutherford also developed the planetary model of the atom. --Jeff Rutherford (1871-1937) is best known for discovering and naming alpha/beta radiation, and naming the proton and nucleus. He also won a nobel prize in 1908 for explaing radioactivity. He changed nitrogen into oxygen by splitting the atom's nucleus. --Julia Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) a British chemist and physicist was the father of nuclear physics. His experiment with alpha particles with foil leads him to discover that there are protons in the atoms. This discovery helped lead to the atomic number which was how the periodic table is organized today. --Karen Ernest Rutheford was known as an English scientist who lived from 1871 to 1937. He learned enough about the positive charge in atoms to lead other scientists to the discovery of protons, which unlocked atomic number as a tool to organize the periodic table. --Katy Ernest Ruthford (1831-1937) was born in New Zealand and made many advances in the field of radioactivity. He studied the absorption of radioactivity (alpha and beta particles) by thin sheets of metal foil. Some were absorbed and others bounced back and concluded that there were positive charges in radioactive particles. --Tatiana British chemist Ernest Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics. Rutherford discovered the electron and its charges relative to the elements. He also developed the Rutherford model that suggested that atoms have charges that surround their nuclei. He created the Rutherford model which explained this idea. --Tokunbo Ernest Rutherford, a British chemist and physicist, ascertained that atoms have a small charged nucleus and innovated the Rutherford planetary model that was later adapted as an atomic model. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908, split the atom in 1917, and had an element named after him. --Victoria Ernest Rutherford, a British chemist, lived from 1871-1937. He thought that atoms had most of the mass in the nucleus with electrons orbiting it, and that atoms were mostly empty space. He reached this conclusion after analyzing the results of his famous gold foil experiment. --Yulan .
