Description: Emphasizing Rutherford's experiments with alpha particles, explains the general make-up of the atom. Uses radiation counters to simulate Rutherford's work and animates the deflection of particles which counters demonstrate. Shows how a magnetic field affects atomic particles. Diagrams the nucleus and tells of recent discoveries inside it. Concludes that it is with the number and arrangement of atoms and how these determine the chemical properties that the chemist is chiefly concerned., The experimental evidence for our basic concepts concerning the structure of the atom. An experiment similar to Rutherford's historic alpha particle scattering demonstrations indicates that atoms have dense, positively charged nuclei. The charge on the electron and the ratio of charge to mass.
