(Ernest) Rutherford of Nelson, Ernest Rutherford, Baron 29022493 The natural and artificial disintegration of the elements An address by Professor Sir Ernest Rutherford $aUnited States :$bThe Franklin Institute,$c1924. Laura Natal Rodrigues (Images generously made available by Hathi Trust Digital Library.) "The Natural and Artificial Disintegration of the Elements" by Ernest Rutherford is a scientific publication presented as an address in the early 20th century. Written during the 1920s, the book discusses the fundamental concepts surrounding the structure of atomic nuclei, exploring both natural and artificial processes that lead to the disintegration of elements. Rutherford offers insights into radioactivity and nuclear transformations, articulating the significance of these phenomena in the broader framework of atomic theory. In this work, Rutherford delves into the properties of atomic nuclei, emphasizing that they consist of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. He outlines the complexities involved in studying the nucleus and describes experiments that illuminate the forces at play within it. The text covers various topics, including the dimensions of nuclei, the role of different particles during radioactive decay, and the implications of these findings for our understanding of the evolution of elements. Through a detailed examination of experimental results and theoretical frameworks, Rutherford aims to enhance our comprehension of atomic structure and the interactions that drive nuclear disintegration.
