Notes on the history of the atom In 1897 the British physicist Joseph John (J. J.) Thomson (1856–1940) discovered the electron in a series of experiments designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube‚ an area being investigated by numerous scientists at the time. Thomson interpreted the deflection of the rays by electrically charged plates and magnets as evidence of &quotbodies much smaller than atoms&quot that he calculated as having a very large value

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher

After studying this unit you will be able to • know about the discovery of electron‚ proton and neutron and their characteristics; • describe Thomson‚ Rutherford and Bohr atomic models; • understand the important features of the quantum mechanical model of atom; •

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 6.1 Summary Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Various shapes and sizes of nanoparticles are synthesized by physical‚ chemical and biological methods. The Chrysophyllum canito leaf extracts were used for silver nanoparticles synthesis. In this study utterly revealed the best milli molar concentrations of silver nanoparticles synthesis in diverse solvents such

computer ------------------------------------------------- Computational chemistry From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses principles of computer science to assist in solving chemical problems. It uses the results of theoretical chemistry‚ incorporated into efficient computer programs‚ to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids. Its necessity arises from the well-known fact that apart from relatively recent results

Dalton was the first scientist to help contribute to the atomic theory. He based his thought process off of Democritus‚ an ancient Greek philosopher‚ who stated that at one point you will not be able to break down matter anymore‚ he called this basic building block an atom (meaning not divisible). Democritus believed that everything around us such as metal‚ water‚ and wood were atoms‚ but Dalton believed and proved that it could be more basic than that. He started thinking of compounds such as water

better. “Unmotivated students will probably do poor work or no work‚ learn little‚ and often exhibit irresponsible or disruptive behaviors” (Erwin‚ 2003‚ p. 19). There are two types of motivation-external and internal. “External motivation‚ the proverbial carrot and stick approach‚ predominates not only in most classrooms but also in the world” (Erwin‚ 2003‚ P. 20). However‚ this approach is not as effective as internal motivation because it causes students to rely on rewards. The rewards

Will Turner God Particle Rough Draft Summaries Chapter 1: Dr. Lederman uses a metaphor of a soccer game with an invisible ball to show the process by which the existence of particles is worked out. This metaphor is useful to get a sense of the experience of a particle physicist as he or she conducts his or her experiments in the particle accelerator. This chapter Dr. Lederman gives a brief background story of what led him to particle physics. Chapter 2: In a fictional dream‚ Dr. Lederman
