  1. Rutherford's Atom: •concentrated mass & positive charge at the nucleus •electrons roam empty space around the nucleus twitter.com/ernestrchem191… 6:06 PM Feb 12th via Photos on iOS
  2. Thomson's Atom: • diffuse mass and charge twitter.com/ernestrchem191… 6:04 PM Feb 12th via Photos on iOS
  3. Discovery of the Nucleus..... :D twitter.com/ernestrchem191… 6:03 PM Feb 12th via Photos on iOS
  4. THIRD, a very, very few alpha particles were turned through an angle of 90 degrees or more. 6:01 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  5. SECOND, some of the alpha particles were deflected only slightly, usually 2 degrees or less... 6:00 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  6. Those alpha particles, of course, continued on a straight-line path until they hit the detector screen. 5:59 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  7. FIRST, almost ALL of the alpha particles went through the gold foil as if it were not even there. 5:58 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  8. There were 3 major findings...... (oh gosh this is gonna be long -__-) 5:55 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  9. Just so you know, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden aimed a stream of alpha particles at a thin gold foil for several months in 1909 👍 5:53 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  10. I was confronted with some rather bizarre alpha-particle behavior that I had to explain. 3:57 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  11. Actually, I was the one who discovered them. I'm awesomeeeeee!! :D 3:56 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  12. I had been studying alpha particles since 1898, in case you didn't know! :D 3:55 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
  13. I feel smart! 3:53 PM Feb 12th via Echofon
