Talk:Ernest Rutherford/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Far too short on all accounts: personal life, scientific merit. The only explanation of the gold foil experiment is its mention and the sentence "he discover the nuclear nature of atoms". This article requires a lot of work, and has been rated start, but is bordering on stub. Errabee 10:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Part of the reason why the so-called Rutherford experiment is not mentioned as prominently as it could be is that, from Geiger-Marsden experiment, it was "an experiment done by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909, under the direction of Ernest Rutherford".

The Rutherford model of the atom is only mentioned as a "See also". This, along with the experiment, should also be expanded. I suggest adding sections that summarise what already exists at these articles, but focussing on what Rutherford did. Carcharoth 17:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
