Atoms make up everything around us‚ including ourselves. They consist of protons which give off a positive charge‚ electrons which give off a negative charge and neutrons which have no charge. In an atom there are the same amount of protons as there are electrons. If there weren’t it would cause the atom to behave differently. Atoms have layers around them called shells which contain electrons. Each shell can only hold a certain amount of electrons. Molecules can be multiple atoms of the same element

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 for the charge-to-mass

Trevon Johnson Wendy Waugh MIS 130 2-6-11 Pirates of Silicon Valley The Pirates of Silicon Valley was more of a documentary movie where it talked about and followed the life of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs‚ which were founders of Microsoft and Apple. The movie takes you through the process of how they started their respective personal computers and companies. Both guys were very intelligent individuals which they both knew so that’s why they worked together to lift both organizations

Atoms‚ Molecules‚ and Elements CHM/110 William De Vorick June 30‚ 2014 Atoms‚ Molecules‚ and Elements Demetri Mendeleev was trying to organize the elements into a table by weight when he noticed that as the weights increase occasionally the properties of one element would resemble those of an element he already listed so he placed these elements in a column under the ones they resembled chemically ( Capri‚ PhD‚ 2003). Each chemical in the vertical rows on the periodic table are considered

The Manhattan Project World War II started on September 1 1939‚ when Germany attacked Poland. By 1941‚ the Germans were ahead in the race for the atomic bomb. They had a heavy-water plant‚ high-grade uranium compounds‚ capable scientists and engineers‚ and the greatest chemical engineering industry in the world. Even before its entry into the war‚ the United States had become very concerned with the nuclear threat of the Axis powers. On October 11‚ 1939‚ President Franklin D. Roosevelt received

The notion of the atom all stared about 450 BC when a Greek scholar starting think when can something break on more‚ when are the pieces at their smallest‚ this mans name was Leucippus. Leucippus also had pupil who also thought the same way as Leucippus‚ his name was Democritus. They developed there ideas and when Democritus died his theory summed up briefly was that everything in the world was made of tiny pieced that could not be broken up any more. That how the word atom was derived from the Greek

In this text we will discuss these two disasters‚ along with correcting a few common misconceptions about nuclear accidents. The worst type of man-made disaster is caused by the use of nuclear weapons. If we go back to the history of 1945‚ we come to know the history of 1945; we come to know the worst type of nuclear disaster the world had witnessed. On August 6‚ 1945 an atom bomb was

The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Atoms lack a well-defined outer boundary‚ so their dimensions are usually described in terms of an atomic radius. This is a measure of the distance out to which the electron cloud extends from the nucleus. However‚ this assumes the atom to exhibit a spherical shape‚ which is only obeyed for atoms in vacuum or free space. Atomic radii may be derived from the distances

1. What causes the lines to be produced in this way? The different electron energy levels caused in hydrogen cause these lines in the spectrum to be produced in this way because the wavelengths that are released when the electron move back to the ground state is specific and it varies accordingly. 2. Into which energy level are electrons dropping into to make these visible lines? The electrons are dropping back to the ground state which is the bottom most energy level to makes these visible lines
