She was born on this date. She is famous for coining the theory of radioactivity, isolating radioactive isotopes, and discovering polonium and radium. -
Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford shot beams of alpha particles at gold foil. He proposed that most of the particles would go straight through while others would hit a mass that was positively charged. His gold foil experiment demonstrated that this idea ws correct. He was the scientist that discovered the nucleus of an atom -
