1808. His theory was consisted of the following: * all matter is made up of atoms‚ * atoms are indivisible and can neither be created nor destroyed‚ * all the atoms of an element are identical * compounds are formed by the chemical combination of atoms in small whole number ratios. Dalton called these groups as “compound atoms” which we call “molecules” today. Today‚ we know that atoms are divisible and that all atoms are not the same‚ there are isotopes in the nature. So‚ John Dalton was wrong

Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment Rutherford started his scientific career with much success in local schools leading to a scholarship to Nelson College. After achieving more academic honors at Nelson College‚ Rutherford moved on to Cambridge University’s Cavendish laboratory. There he was lead by his mentor J.J. Thomson convinced him to study radiation. By 1889 Rutherford was ready to earn a living and sought a job. With Thomson’s recommendation McGill University in Montreal accepted

structure of the atom and the essential nature of radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is the process by which an atomic nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing particles. This emission is spontaneous‚ in which the atom decays without any physical interaction with another particle from outside the atom. Radioactive decay usually happens due to a process which is confined to the nucleus of the unstable atom‚ but in some cases an inner electron of the radioactive atom is also necessary

1. Question : Richard was observing black swallowtail butterflies in the field. Which one of these is an observation he made about a black swallowtail butterfly? The black swallowtail laid its eggs on a parsley plant. Question 2. Question : The most valid and reliable test of the hypothesis‚ more pine seeds germinate after a forest fire‚ would include an experimental group of pine seeds that was recovered from a fire area and pine seeds that were — tolerant of fire. Question 3

organisms from plants to people. 1 of the 4 special features of carbon is that carbon atoms are able to bond with each other to form extended chains-sharing pairs of electrons with neighbouring carbon atoms which allow the formation of stable covalent carbon-carbon bonds. Carbon can also form branched chains and rings- these structures help to provide the skeletons of organic molecules. Number of carbon atoms in the chain is important because this influences the size and the shape of molecules.

incorrectly. There appear to be many articles out there pointing out what was inaccurate about his theory. However‚ still to this day chemist/people believe some of his theories are correct. Dalton’s hypothesis tried to prove the matter in the terms of atoms and properties. I discovered two articles that I referred to the first article is called the “Atomic Theory of Matter” This article was last updated on July 20‚ 2016. The second article I discovered is called “Postulates of Dalton’s Atomic Theory”

emitting ionising particles or radiation through the process of radioactive decay. Ernest Rutherford and later Paul Villard discovered the three types of radiation: -radiation (nucleus of helium atom); -radiation (electron); and -radiation. (a) (i) Define the term isotope. Answer: Isotopes are atoms having the same number of protons / proton number / atomic number / of the same element but have different number of neutrons / different mass numbers / different number of nucleons Comments:
