About this book

Delivered in Philadelphia in September 1924, this address by Sir Ernest Rutherford marked the hundredth anniversary of the Franklin Institute and the opening of the Bartol Research Foundation. He assumes his audience already knows the results on natural and artificial disintegration and turns to what they say about the structure of the atomic nucleus. Early on he explains that a nucleus carries a positive charge equal to the element's atomic number, from hydrogen at 1 to uranium at 92, and that it is thought to be built from electrons and hydrogen nuclei.
