Rutherford (1871-1937), a physical chemist in New Zealand. 1908 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for putting forward the theory of transmutation of radioactive elements for the first time.

Rutherford was born in a remote village in New Zealand. His father is a farmer and his mother is a village teacher. Brothers and sisters 12, Rutherford ranked fourth. The livelihood of this big family depends entirely on the hard work of parents. Children know the hardships of life from an early age and form the habit of creating things by themselves and doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Spring planting and autumn harvest are all dispatched by the whole family. Rutherford grew up in this family atmosphere of solidarity and mutual assistance, and developed the good qualities of mutual cooperation and respect for others. Later, he was praised as a scientist who never made enemies and never lost friends. Among his assistants and students, 1 1 won the Nobel Prize one after another.

Little Rutherford likes to use his hands and brains, and tinkering is his specialty. There is a big clock that has been used for many years at home. It often stops working, which is very delayed. Everyone thinks it can't be repaired. Rutherford took the old clock apart, marked every part, cleaned up the sludge and put every part in place. As a result, the clock kept good time. Cameras were an expensive commodity at that time. Rutherford bought some lenses and really made them. He filmed himself, developed himself and became a small fan of photography. Rutherford's practical ability is extremely useful for his future scientific research, so his work is always better than others.

When Rutherford/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, he got a textbook "Introduction to Physics" written by Professor Balfour of Manchester University from his mother. This book not only tells the basic physical theory, but also describes a series of simple physical experiments. Rutherford was deeply attracted by the contents of the book and learned some truth from it. This book began to lead him to the road of scientific research.

From middle school to college, he cherished the learning environment of the school very much, so his grades have always been excellent. From 65438 to 0895, due to his outstanding achievements in the research of electricity and magnetism, he won a scholarship to go to England for further study, entered the famous Cavendish laboratory of Cambridge University, and began to study the atomic structure. He and the Curies studied radioactivity from different angles. The Curies were concerned about which elements were radioactive, while Rutherford was concerned about what radiation was.

Rutherford discovered α, β and γ rays emitted by radioactive elements and proved their properties. Later, Rutherford also confirmed that radioactivity can not only lead to the natural transformation of atoms from one element to another, but also can be transformed by artificial methods. He also put forward a model of atomic structure, pointing out that atoms can be divided and the atomic structure is very complicated. His theory had a far-reaching influence on the later development of physics and chemistry.
