Solution

All of the statements are correct:

  1. Rutherford did estimate the overall diameter of the atom to be 10-9m. This was based on his gold foil experiment where he discovered that atoms have a small, dense nucleus.

  2. By 1920, Rutherford had indeed named the proton. He discovered the proton after observing that hydrogen nuclei were present in the results of certain types of radioactive decay.

  3. In 1913, Bohr did redefine the atom of the model to include electrons revolving around the nucleus in stable orbits. This is known as the Bohr model of the atom.

  4. Otto Hahn did win the 1944 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on nuclear fission. He is often referred to as the father of nuclear chemistry.
