✦ Synopsis

Feb., I922.1 CURRENT TOPICS. 283 multiples of 4, i.e., carbon and oxygen, and whose nuclei would contain no hydrogen, if the suggested structure be correct.

The authors regard the H atom that is expelled from the nucleus as not incorporated in it but as being a satellite. The production of backward-moving atoms from aluminium may arise thus. The alpha-particle may strike the H atom at such a point in its orbit around the nucleus as ,to drive it toward the nucleus about which it describes a hyperbolic path, just as a comet approaches the sun, passes it and then moves back toward the regions of space where it formerly was. Only about two alpha-particles in a million are able to liberate swift H atoms.
