ABSTRACT

A large amount of accurate data has been accumulated on the emission of energy from radioactive atoms in the form of α β and γrays, and in the majority of cases the average life of the individual elements has been determined. No definite information is available as to the magnetic state of the nucleus, so in the present theory Rutherford confines the forces of attraction due to the polarization of the structure of the neutral satellite by the electric forces arising from the main nucleus. The disturbance of the neutral satellite system by the liberation of an α particle or swift electron may lead to its rearrangement, involving the transition of one or more satellites. Theory of the origin of the particles, is postulated that a number of neutral satellites circulates in quantum orbits round the nucleus, it is considers that whether the γ rays have their origin in transitions of the satellite from one quantum level to another.
