which university did he go to?
University of New Zealand, University of Cambridge.
Ernest Rutherford
 University of New Zealand, where he participated in the debating society and played rugby. After gaining his BA, MA and BSc, and doing two years of research during which he invented a new form of radio receiver, in 1895 Rutherford was awarded an 1851 Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, to travel to England for postgraduate study at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. 
where are electrons found in an atom and what electrical charge and mass do they have An electron can be "bound" to the nucleus of an atom by the attractive Coulomb force.  If the number of electrons is different from the nucleus' electrical charge, such an atom is called an ion. which theory explains or is based on this? Atomic Theory, Quantum Theory what exactly is the part of the atom mentioned above, initially? The electron is a subatomic particle, whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. who discovered that it has two charges? French chemist Charles François du Fay what is this particle mentioned above? Subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. They can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton; or elementary particles, which according to the standard model are not made of other particles. what method is used to divide the atom? Nuclear physics where was the chemist mentioned above born? France did he publish any books? Yes, All Du Fay's publications appeared in the journal "Histoire de l'Académie Royale des Sciences: avec les mémoires de mathématique & de physique pour les mêmes années" who are some well -known scientists in the branch of physics mentioned above? Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger what was the former's contribution to this field of study? He came to be known as the father of nuclear physics. He discovered the concept of radioactive half-life, the radioactive element radon, and differentiated and named alpha and beta radiation. has he been honored in any way for his work? Yes, he was awarded the Hector Memorial Medal. where did he live during his childhood? New Zealand

Ernest Rutherford [SEP] Early life and education
He was to replace Hugh Longbourne Callendar who held the chair of Macdonald Professor of physics and was coming to Cambridge. Rutherford was accepted, which meant that in 1900 he could marry Mary Georgina Newton (1876–1954) to whom he had become engaged before leaving New Zealand; they married at St Paul's Anglican Church, Papanui in Christchurch, they had one daughter, Eileen Mary (1901–1930), who married the physicist Ralph Fowler. In 1901, Rutherford gained a DSc from the University of New Zealand. In 1907, he returned to Britain to take the chair of physics at the Victoria University of Manchester.
