Abstract
Much of what is known about the structure of atoms is based on several classical experiments in physics. In this chapter, the photoelectric effect, Rutherford's experiment, cathode rays, line spectra, and the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom are described. Attention then focuses on atomic nuclei with a description of binding energies and their use in interpreting the decay modes of radioactive nuclei.
