Some remarkable results have been obtained with certain u stable elements, notably baron, aluminium, nitrogen, sodium, fuorine, and phosphorus Con- stituents of the "aloms of these aleniente have been expelled by alpha particles, and, at any rate temporarily, something like the transmutation of the elements achieved.
By special apparatus devised by Sir Ernest Rutherford, it has been demonstrated" that the particles thus expelled are in all cases hydrogen atoms, sometimes in that form and at others in the form of helium nuclei, which con- sist of four hydrogen nucli bound together.
It seams almost certain, there- fore, that the ullimiste "bricks" from which all substance are built up are hydrogen nuclei, the man. ner in which they are combined in any particular atom determin- ing the nature of the sustance of which it is a part.
The fact that, what an alpha particle entered the atomic nucleus of substances like slum. innm, hydrogen nuclei were frequently projicted backwards ma well as forwards was a strong corroboration of the theory that central nucleus of an atom was surrounded by elctron (hydrogen atoms) moving in rapid motion round the nucleus.
The speed and direction of motion of any of these "satellite' electrons, when struck by an intruding alpha particle, would depend on its position in its {** orbit ", when bit, and Sir Ernest showed by a diagram how, under certain conditione, an electron would be projected in such a way as to sweep close around the nucleus and return on the other side in the same direction as it approached the central region,
