Quite a few scientists have helped to create and extend ideas on what an atom is and what its components are. One of these discoverers‚ John Dalton‚ developed the first modern atomic theory. Although much of his theory is still true today‚ one point was disproved by Ernest Rutherford. Dalton’s atomic theory had several parts to it. He believed atoms were indivisible‚ or impossible to break down into smaller particles. Also‚ he said elements are all consisted of atoms and that the atoms of

Mass Determination of Ca‚ Fe and Zn in a multivitamin using Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy (AAS) and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) ABSTRACT: The purpose of this project was to determine the amount of calcium‚ iron and zinc present in an over the counter multivitamin. This mass was determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). For both analytical techniques‚ the method of standard additions was used to compensate for matrix effects.

Atomic bombs have killed up to 80‚000 people in an instant when dropped. During the Cold War many countries built more nuclear weapons. Communism and the creation of nuclear weapons were two major problems during the Cold War. The Soviet Union and The United States were allies during WW2 but soon turned against each other after the resolution of the war in 1945.

Dropping the atomic bomb will solve nearly every problem we have. It would force the Japanese to surrender‚ shorten the war‚ save lives and money‚ and avoid us from asking the Soviet Union to get involved. The atomic bomb is already built‚ and not using it would waste all the money and time put into developing it. Releasing the bomb on Japan really would be in the best interest of the United States. The first benefit of detonating the bomb would be forcing the Japanese to surrender. The Japanese
