  • Check your facts! He did study at Canterbury, but in 1894, he was awarded an Exhibition Science Scholarship, enabling him to go to Trinity College, Cambridge, as a research student at the Cavendish Laboratory under J.J. Thomson. So he did indeed study in England, as well as Canada. Congratulations on your kiwi pride!

  • Are there any copyright restrictions for this video? I would like to use this video in my chemistry-class.

  • @ChemieHerrmann Feel free to use it for educational purposes.

  • I think you Canadian science book might be biased! You're correct in pointing out that the video about him being British is not accurate. He was actually from New Zealand.

  • No, electrons are not present in the nucleus. Your teacher may have been referring to radioactive decay of the nucleus. if the neutron to proton ratio is too high, a neutron will turn into proton and electron. The electron is then emitted from the nucleus, which is called beta decay.

    Rutherford has quite a story. He parents were from Scotland. He studied and and work in England. Later he received knighthood by the queen and became Baron of "Somewhere in England". New Zealand was part of the british empire. So Rutherford is born in New Zealand, but has a very british background.
