A+Ernest+Rutherford

=__Isotope and Radioactivity__= = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:= = = = = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)=
 * 1) Ernest Rutherford won The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in (1908)
 * 2) Rutherford discovered and named alpha and beta decay and coined the terms alpha, beta, and gamma rays
 * 3) Rutherford's gold foil experiment helped describe the nuclear structure of the atom
 * 4) He is sometimes called the Father of Nuclear Physics.
 * 5) Ernest Rutherford Died in October 19, 1937, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

=3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery=

1. We use Rutherford's Atomic Theory In schools

2. We know more about the Structure of the atom Because of his experiments.

3 From his Discovery we know now that most of the mass from an atom is in the small nucleus =Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain= Yes, Ernest Rutherfords Discovery is still used today in many places. We use his Atomic theory in schools all over the world.
