characteristics. * 1897: JJ Thomson discovered electron and isotopes‚ and invented the mass spectrometer. * 1898: Marie Curie discovered and isolated radium‚ a new element which unprompted disintegrated into other elements. This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. * 1911: Ernest Rutherford established that the nucleus was very dense‚ very small and positively charged. He also assumed that the electrons were located outside the nucleus. * 1922: Niels

Lightning Perhaps the most known and powerful display of electrostatics in nature is a lightning storm. Lightning storms are inescapable from humankind’s attention. They are never invited‚ never planned and never gone unnoticed. The rage of a lightning strike will wake a person in the middle of the night. They send children rushing into parent’s bedrooms‚ crying for assurance that everything will be safe. The fury of a lightning strike is capable of interrupting midday conversations and activities

integrated into most electronic and portable devices. Electrical current is the flow of electrons (movement) of an electrical charge and is measured using an ammeter. Solid conductive metals contain large population of free electrons‚ which are bound to the metal lattice and move around randomly due to thermal energy. When two terminals of a voltage source (battery) are connected via a metal wire‚ the free electrons of the conductor drift toward the positive terminal‚ making them the electrical current

atomic nuclei. This is how the nucleus of the atom is formed. The force is so strong that the minute particle that carries the force is called “gluon‚” which is means “glue” in Latin. The strength of this force is very particular. The protons and electrons are sensitive and have to be specifically arranged and a have the right distance apart. The weak force‚ also known as the weak interaction‚ maintains the balance of order within the nucleus of the atom. This balance of protons and neutrons guarantees

How do ionic bonds form? Transferring the electron forms an ionic bond. After transferring the electron‚ the two atoms become ion n will attract together because they have the opposite charges. Then an ionic bond is formed. How do covalent bonds form? A covalent bond is for sharing of electrons. I remember it like co-existing electrons to share (Eg H20). It is usually between two non-metals. Which compound‚ sugar or salt‚ is a better conductor of electricity? Explain your answer. Salt

The notion of the atom all stared about 450 BC when a Greek scholar starting think when can something break on more‚ when are the pieces at their smallest‚ this mans name was Leucippus. Leucippus also had pupil who also thought the same way as Leucippus‚ his name was Democritus. They developed there ideas and when Democritus died his theory summed up briefly was that everything in the world was made of tiny pieced that could not be broken up any more. That how the word atom was derived from the Greek

Lesson Plan: Electric Circuits (~130 minutes) Concepts 1. Electricity is the flow of electric charge (electrons). 2. Electric Charge is a property of subatomic particles. 3. Current is the movement of electric charge. 4. Voltage is the electric potential that exists to move a charge. 5. Power is the rate at which electric energy is flowing in a circuit. 6. Ohm’s Law: Power = Voltage x Current. 7. Resistance is a physical property that quantifies how well a charge
