“From the results so far obtained it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the long-range atoms arising from collision of alpha particles with nitrogen are not nitrogen atoms but probably atoms of hydrogen, or atoms of mass 2. If this be the case, we must conclude that the nitrogen atom is disintegrated under the intense forces developed in a close collision with a swift alpha particle, and that the hydrogen atom which is liberated formed a constituent part of the nitrogen nucleus.” IfsLongForceDifficultResultsCasesMassIntenseConclusionRangeAtomsParticlesLiberatedConstituentsCollisionHydrogenAlphasNucleusNitrogenHydrogen Atom Author:Ernest Rutherford
