Is there is any blood relationship between bohr and rutherford?

Question

like brother,cousion.

Answer 1

Improbable. They grew up on opposite sides of the world.

Their careers were intertwined and they both gave their names to transuranic elements: Rutherfordium is element 104 and Bohrium is element 107.

Though now thought of as British (he was knighted and made a Lord in Britain) Rutherford (1871 – 1937) was originally from New Zealand, and only came to Cambridge as a postgraduate, returning there after spells in Canada and in Manchester as Director of the Cavendish Laboratory.

Niels Henrik David Bohr (1887-1962) was Danish and the son of a Copenhagen University Professor in Physiology.

They collaborated together, certainly, Bohr received his doctorate from Copenhagen University in 1911 and then studied under Ernest Rutherford in the University of Manchester in England.

On the basis of Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom's nucleus, the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits. Bohr also introduced the idea that an electron could drop from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one, emitting a photon (light quantum) of discrete energy. This became a basis for quantum theory.

In 1916, Niels Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920. In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them". Bohr's institute served as a focal point for theoretical physicists in the 1920s and '30s, and most of the world's best known theoretical physicists of that period spent some time there.

Bohr did have a brother, who he was close to, called Harald. He too collaborated with a Cambridge academic. Is this the source of the confusion?

Harald August Bohr (22 April 1887 – 22 January 1951) was a Danish mathematician, and younger brother of the physicist Niels Bohr. Many friends remarked that the two men were unusually close, even for brothers. Early in the lives of the brothers, Harald was thought to be more likely to be successful.

Harald Bohr worked in mathematical analysis, founding the field of almost periodic functions, and worked with the Cambridge mathematician G. H. Hardy. Bohr was also an excellent football player; he won a silver medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics with the Danish national football team.

Bohr's son Aage Niels Bohr (born June 19, 1922 in Copenhagen) is still alive, thhough now 84. Growing up among physicists like Wolfgang Pauli and Werner Heisenberg, he became a notable nuclear physicist in his own right, being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975.

So it seems Niels Bohr did have notable relatives in the fields of maths and nuclear physics, but Ernest Rutherford was not one of them.

Answer 2

Rutheford's experiments confirmed him that the plum-pudding form would not artwork for the atom simply by fact the electrons are no longer concentrated interior the nucleus yet are in certainty around the nucleus of the atom. They occupy little or no area so numerous the atom is quite vacuum. He did no longer say approximately how they're aligned around the atom. that's what Bohr did. Bohr postulated that the electrons pass like planets orbiting the solar, for this reason the nucleus of the atom and that there are discrete power tiers between the shell which could be occupied by skill of the electrons.

Answer 3

I don't believe so. But perhaps if you research it further on Google, you'll find out.

Answer 4

They are father and son.

Answer 5

Not at all.
