Question 1: Who discover the nucleus? Write the experimental setup that he follows.
Answer:
Lord Rutherford discovered the nucleus. He carried out his famous experiment that showed the existence of a small but very heavy core of the atom. He arranged for a beam of alpha particles to strike gold atoms in a thin foil of gold. If the positive and negative charges in the atom were randomly distributed, all ' would go through without any deflection. But a lot of backscattering was seen, and some alphas were even deflected back in the direction of the incident beam. This was possible only if they were colliding with a very heavy object inside the atom.
