Notes on the history of 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

nuclear energy was linked to military purpose. The Atoms for Peace speech from Eisenhower in 1953 helped to change this point of view. In his speech he persuaded the world increase the researches within the nuclear power field with the focus on the energy possibilities‚ and start to decrease the potential destructive nuclear weapons. He shifted the focus from nuclear energy from war and fear to an open and peaceful way of generating energy (Atoms for Peace). The Dutch government already saw nuclear

plants‚ animals and humans became endangered by the rise in temperatures and carbon levels. It was then that Carla‚ a carbon atom was born at the Sahara desert. At night‚ Carla and her friends went outside to watch the stars peacefully. It had never occurred to them that the night would bring a sudden kidnap. All of Carla’s friends and Carla were attached to two oxygen atoms. Unfortunately‚ Carla fainted during the kidnap so when she woke up‚ she took the surprise of no longer being carbon but carbon

Introduction Atoms‚ molecules‚ compounds and mixtures‚ although they may not seem it‚ are different. Atoms make up all of the above and elements. They are made an equal amount of protons and electrons. Molecules are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Like molecules‚ compounds are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Unlike molecules‚ the atoms need to be two or more different elements. Mixtures are made of two or more compounds or elements. Mixtures can look completely the

Diwali is the festival closest to my heart. It embraces all religions and it not only illuminates houses but also lives. This year was no different with my entire city karnal getting adorned over the last weekend to glowing LEDs while candles played a minor role in some houses. A significant and traditional part of this festival is crackers. They have only evolved over the years and presently you’ll be spoilt for choice shopping for them. However some enlightened minds have planted the seed of a

University of Nebraska at Omaha Bomb Calorimetry Physical Chemistry 3354 Enthalpy of Combustion: 1‚2-diphenylethane January 6‚ 2014 Author: Jon D. Paul Signature Professor: Dr. Edmund Tisko Date Abstract Experimentation involving constant volume calorimetry produces the heat of reaction for many substances. When choosing adiabatic conditions we are allowed to focus on the reaction system while neglecting everything else. The reactions that are studied should proceed relatively

BROOKLYN BLOOMS SEED BOMB WORKSHOP What: Seedbombs‚ or seedballs are a mixture of clay‚ compost and seeds that are designed to improve ecology in blighted often hard to reach areas. The components are simply mixed together into balls that can easily be dropped or thrown in an appropriate place. How: The clay prevents the compost and seeds from being washed away in rain and keeps them damp. The seeds will sprout plants that need the compost for nutrients required for successful early growth

dislike for atomic bombs. In his presidency there were some instances involving the Cold War that many of his supporters and advisors believed an atomic bomb would be needed. However Eisenhower stood strong on his opinions and resolved the conflicts without using not only atomic bombs but no military force at all. At the UN’s General Assembly meeting in New York of December‚ 1953 he gave his famous “Atoms for Peace” speech. Just eight years prior the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima

In this experiment‚ we us naphthalene as a fuel in bomb calorimeter which naphthalene powder is turned to pellet using pellet press. The fuel is burnt at constant volume condition in a high pressure container (the bomb). The whole bomb‚ pressurized with excess of oxygen. The mass of iron wire‚ ma =0.02g. The mass of naphthalene pellet with iron wire‚ mb =0.38g. The bomb is submerged in 850g of water and the initial temperature
