Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, OM, PRS, HonFRSE was a New Zealand physicist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. Rutherford has been described as “the father of nuclear physics”

Radioactivity is the release of energy from the decay of the nuclei of certain kinds of Atoms and isotopes. Atomic nuclei consist of protons and neutrons bound together in tiny bundles at the center of Atoms.

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an Atom or free (not bound). An electron that is bound to an Atom is one of the three primary types of particles within the Atom — the other two are protons and neutrons. Together, protons

Sir Joseph John Thomson OM FRS was a British physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics, credited with the discovery of the electron, the first subatomic particle to be found.

An Atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An Atom consists of a central nucleus that is surrounded by one or more negatively charged Electrons. The nucleus is positively charged and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons.

Hydrogen is the lightest element. At standard conditions hydrogen is a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula H 2. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and highly combustible. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter.

John Dalton FRS was an English chemist, physicist and meteorologist. He is best known for introducing the atomic theory into chemistry, and for his research into colour blindness, which he had. Colour blindness is known as Daltonism in several languages, being named after him. Wikipedia

In chemistry, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio. When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break. These bonds form as a result of sharing or exchanging
