by C. F. Powell , F.R.S.
In this series of four programmes C. F. Powell, Professor of Physics in the University of Bristol, talks to four laymen about the structure of the atom, the fission process, the fusion process, and the production and use of nuclear energy.
I-The Structure of the Atom
If a hydrogen atom were as big as the dome of the Royal Albert Hall its nucleus, suspended at the centre, would be as big as a seed pearl and would weigh 60,000 tons. The electron, also the size of a seed pearl, would be circling the periphery of the dome and would weigh thirty tons. With this image of the simplest atom in mind to illustrate the scale and the density of the parts, Professor Powell explains the structure of atoms and the forces involved in holding them together.
