Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand, in , one of 12 children. Growing up, he often helped out on the family farm, but he was a good student, and received a scholarship to attend the University of New Zealand. After college he won a scholarship in to become a research student at Cambridge.
At Cambridge, the young Rutherford worked in the Cavendish lab with J. Thomson, discoverer of the electron. In Rutherford and chemist Frederick Soddy found that one radioactive element can decay into another. The discovery earned Rutherford the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which irritated him somewhat because he considered himself a physicist, not a chemist.
In Rutherford returned to England, to the University of Manchester. In , he and his colleague Hans Geiger were looking for a research project for a student, Ernest Marsden. Rutherford had already been studying the scattering of alpha particles off a gold target, carefully measuring the small forward angles through which most of the particles scattered.
Marsden was not expected to find anything, but nonetheless he dutifully and carefully carried out the experiment. There are no positrons in the nucleus of any atom. Positrons are anti-electrons; they are antimatter. They could be said to be the antimatter equivalent of the electron, and, as such, they would be present around the nucleus of an antimatter atom as the electrons are present around the nucleus of a "regular" atom.
Positrons can be produced in atomic nuclei by some kinds of radioactive decay, and they can be observed to be leaving a nuclear reaction called beta plus decay. But the positron leaves the nucleus of an atom as soon as it is created. It does not cannot exist in the nucleus of an atom. There is a simple difference between a nucleus and a nucleon.
A nucleus is at the center of an atom, and it is that collection of particles, protons and neutrons, that make up the nucleus of that atom. Because atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons, we have come up with the term nucleon to describe any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means either a proton or a neutron, when we talk about them as part of the nucleus of an atom, can be properly called a nucleon. The nucleus of an atom is said to be made up of nucleons. It's just that simple.
According to older atomic theories, electrons moves around nucleus Ernest Rutherford said that atoms were composed of a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons, which I assume is what you meant to ask. This was Niels Bohr. This is said because the Nucleus contains heavy protons and neutrons, and this is most of the mass. The rest comes from the tiny electrons whizzing around the nucleus at high speed, and their mass is much less than the Nucleus'. He said that the atom is one whole mass which is wrong , an atom is composed of a nucleus , electrons revolving and space in between.
Ernest Rutherford discovered that most of the atom's mass is in the nucleus in When Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin layer of gold foil he found that approximately 1 in particles were deflected. This lead to his theory that most of the atom was empty space besides a massive nucleus. Thomson said that charges are distriduted evenly in entitre atom. Thomson failed to put forward the concept of nucleus and orbitals. Feynman said, an atom is like a cathedral.
Nucleus being a fly in it. An electron orbits the nucleus of the atom, which consists of protons and neutrons. In the Danish theoretical physicist Niels Bohr published an new model to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the atomic center. The problem with the Rutherford model was the unstable orbits proposed for the electrons.
According to classical theory, any electron moving on a curved path emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The orbiting electrons would therefore lose energy, move inwards and eventually spiral into the collection of protons and neutrons in the atomic center.
Bohr thought about this problem during his visit to Manchester. Soon he modified the Rutherford model by insisting that the electrons move around the center in orbitals that were fixed in size and energy. Electrons in lower electron shells or energy levels would have lower levels of energy, and electrons in higher electron shells and hence higher orbitals would have higher levels of energy. The modern picture of electrons around atomic centers, therefore, shows volumes of space often drawn as circles, or other shapes in which the mysterious electron can be found, most often.
As these orbitals are found in electrons shells further and further away from the atomic center, they hold electrons with higher and higher amounts of energy. Negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged atomic center; so they will always try to get as close as they can to the center.
Negatively charged electrons are repelled by other negatively charged electrons; so they will always try to get as far away from other electrons as possible.
Electrons move so fast there is no way we can tell where they are at any one moment; so, we can only define a volume of space where an electron can be found most of the time. These volumes of space are called orbitals.
