Henry Moseley
Henry Moseley was a very accomplished British physicist. Henry was born in Weymouth Dorset, off the coast of southwestern England. Of his many great accomplishments he is generally known for sorting the periodic table by atomic number. Henry is important because of his work with atoms and the use of x-rays to study them. Moseley was a very bright scientist during the 19th century and his work helps even chemist today. Henry was born into a rather wealthy family and his mother and father were Henry Moseley the first and Amabel Moseley. His father was also a scientist who studied anatomy and physiology. Interestingly enough his father was also a professor at New Oxford. Moseley himself received a King’s scholarship to Elton College and graduated in 1910 from Trinity college of New Oxford. Moseley sadly enough did not leave a lineage behind to carry on his name. Henry worked under Ernest Rutherford at the University of Manchester. Henry also developed a law directly relating systematic relationships between wavelength and atomic number. Among his achievements he also predicted missing elements from the periodic table. Many people believe had he lived a little longer he would have surely received the Nobel Prize. His work also helped with placing difficult elements such as argon and potassium.
Henry Moseley inspires me because he developed a new method of organizing the elements. Further inspiration he inspires is to always do the best you can because he may have come from a rich family but he created his own importance. The fact that he joined the British military to serve his country when he had such a bright future ahead of him is also inspiring. Sadly, and very tragically Moseley died while serving his country during the First World War. He died during the Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey. His work affects us today because of his work we can now identify elements properties a lot easier. It also helps
