Democritus was the first scientist to create a model of the atom as well as the first to discover that all matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms. His belief in atoms was that atoms were small‚ hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes. Furthermore he believed that atoms were infinite in shape‚ in number‚ always moving and capable if joining together. Unlike Democritus’s belief‚ Aristotle’s belief about the atom were completely different

The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

SOLAR SYSTEM About 5 Billion years ago‚ y There was no Sun‚ no Earth& no Moon y Only cosmic dust and gasses drifted in the darkness of space SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The solar system was formed by a slowly spinning cloud of gas and cosmic dust‚ gradually the cloud began to spin faster and faster this formed a large spinning whirl at the centre and smaller whirls surrounding it at various distances. SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The huge and heavy centre became hot enough to start thermo nuclear

He made large contributions to the field of quantum mechanics and also in the understanding of atomic structure. Niels Bohr worked on the well known Manhattan Project‚ and received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. Niels Bohr

Its symbol “Cu” derives from the Latin cuprum. Copper is also valued for its two-for-one practicality: it is a vital nutrient that has antibacterial properties. Aside from what many people generally know about Copper (the “common knowledge‚” so to speak)‚ there is much information regarding its atomic buildup. Every element’s atoms are composed

The Atomic Model has changed over time‚ as the years‚ decades‚ and centuries go by we get a better understanding of the atom and what it looks like. The Atomic Model has changed drastically based on the understanding we have on it‚ each new model has added more information to what we know about it‚ making it easier for scientists and the world to understand. The Atomic Model is a very important part of Science and Chemistry‚ it helps explain the structure and what is inside the atom‚ the particle

Historical Development of Atomic Structure Yazan Fahmawi Sept. 30‚ 1995 T3 IBS Chemistry Ms. Redman The idea behind the "atom" goes back to the Ancient Greek society‚ where scientists believed that all matter was made of smaller‚ more fundamental particles called elements. They called these particles atoms‚ meaning "not divisible." Then came the chemists and physicists of the 16th and 17th centuries who discovered various formulae of various salts and water‚ hence discovering the idea of a molecule
