Microscopic World -3- (The World of the Atomic Nucleus)
Part 1: The Discovery of the Atomic
Nucleus, Its Constituents

As a result of investigation on the atomic structure by E. Rutherford and N. Bohr, it was made clear that the atom is not "indivisible" and still retains an internal structure in which a heavy, positively charged, extremely small nucleus is surrounded by light electrons. Then we have a question, "what's the nucleus?" Now, let us go on a visit to the World of the Atomic Nucleus.
