Atom and Electron Dot Diagram
Chemistry SCH4U-B Lesson 1
Key Questions 1. The development of MRI imaging technology is one useful spinoff of basic research into the structure of the atom. Research, however, is expensive. Many people argue that the high cost of research outweighs its potential benefits. Provide one argument for, and one argument against increasing current funding for atomic structure research. Use specific examples from this lesson in your answer to support each position. (6marks)
There are several benefits that we can gain from the development of MRI imagining technology. A common argument for continuing the research in atomic and sub atomic structure is basically due to the greater understanding of the universe. Specifically, we gain better understanding of how the structure of the atom works, as we study the interaction of small particles which gives us a better understanding of the world. The data which we have on how electrons and atoms interact is gathered mostly on observations alone. For example, the properties of hydrogen atoms can distinguish between the different tissues and muscles within the human body, this is because the human body consists of 63% of hydrogen atoms and we learn all this data through the understanding of atomic particles. We can discover several ideas, if we continue with the research such as, new elements, their properties, amount of energy and how we could use that knowledge to our advantage.
An argument against continuing the research on the structural atom search is the cost is too high compared to collecting the result. Quantum Chemistry cost was very low during the 1900s and gave us beneficial results. For example, today, final cost for a project known as Large Hadron Collider was around $9 billion but as of yet it has not given any practical results. Unlikely, during the mid-1900s,
