About this book

On 11 December 1908 Rutherford gave this Nobel lecture, a short history of how physicists came to know what alpha particles are. He starts with the alpha rays he separated from beta rays in uranium radiation, then follows work by Becquerel, Giesel, and Villard as the three types of rays gained their names and the beta particle was matched with the electron. The long search for the chemical nature of the alpha particle forms the main thread. Rutherford received the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
