had every right to drop the Atomic bomb on Japan and therefore force them to surrender. The Japanese had at that time‚ already lost quite a lot of battles against the US and were forced to retreat back to Japan. Yet‚ the Japanese borders were heavily fortified. Had the Americans attacked Japan‚ they estimated their losses to be about 500 000 men. By dropping the atomic bomb‚ an estimated number of 100 000 people died. So in the end you can see that dropping the atomic bomb has saved quite a lot of

Dalton took the information that he had taken from the three scientists prior to him and put everything into one theory. The Atomic Theory is the most well-known and accurate theory we know right now. Later on in history‚ more scientists came to contribute to the understanding of the Atomic Structure. These scientists included: Sir J.J. Thomson‚ Robert Millikan

The story of the atomic bomb Have you ever wondered about how the disasters at Hiroshima and Nagasaki came about? Well I have too‚ and here is what I got for answers.The atomic bomb was built out of necessity in order to protect our country because we found out that the Germans had already discovered nuclear fission‚ it was possibly the most devastating project in the U.S‚ and it also opened up important new studies of radiation. The first atomic bomb was built out of necessity because Albert

neutron of an atom to split the nucleus into smaller parts‚ resulting in two different elements and energy. This process was called fission‚ and it was the basis for the atomic weapons designed and created for use in the Second World War. In early 1939‚ German physicists found a way to split a uranium atom‚ paving the way to atomic weaponry. Out of fear from the power in the enemy hands‚ Albert Einstein‚ a German physicist escaping Nazi rule ‚ and Enrico Fermi informed President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Oxidizing Magnesium AIM: To determine the empirical formula of MgO RAW DATA COLLECTED: Mass of Mg/g | Mass of O2/g | Mass of MgO/g | 0.12 | 0.07 | 0.19 | 0.15 | 0.08 | 0.23 | 0.16 | 0.08 | 0.24 | 0.19 | 0.11 | 0.30 | 0.21 | 0.11 | 0.32 | 0.23 | 0.09 | 0.32 | CONCLUSION: When a mass of magnesium is burnt in air‚ it combines with the oxygen molecules to form magnesium oxide. The graph doesn’t completely verify the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. There is a slight difference

Decision to Drop the Bomb By Jung Oh Introduction Of all the political and military decisions in history‚ few have been subject to more analysis and comment than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Miles‚ 1985‚121). Scholars in the field have grappled with the vexing question of why the United States decided to use the atomic bomb near the conclusion of the Second World War. A careful study of the critical events leading up to 6 August 1945 offers many distinct explanations. Contemporary

Kevin Li Mrs. Baldwin Honors Chemistry 3 November 2012 Historical Development of Atomic Structure Over the many years of the world’s history‚ there have been numerous developments and discoveries pertaining to atomic structure. Each of these breakthroughs gradually led us—step by step—to a deeper understanding of what makes up each and every atom. Because of this‚ our perception of an atom’s structure today is vastly different from the first idea of an atom’s structure from many centuries

Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected percent composition
