DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC THEORY Part A: HISTORY * 1869: Mendeleev formulated the Table of the Elements - listing them by their atomic weight and grouping them with similar 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

On August 6‚ 1945‚ the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima‚ Japan.

Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

to create the world’s first atomic bomb was a huge project that involved the work of tens of thousands of people and billions of dollars. Most of these resources‚ however‚ did not go into the theory of designing a bomb‚ as design was a relatively small part of the budget; rather‚ the money and manpower were needed to produce weapons-grade plutonium and uranium. Gaseous diffusion was‚ at the time‚ the most efficient way of separating the 235 U and 92 238 U isotopes.1 92 The question of why scientists
