The atomic bomb‚ nicknamed "Little Boy"‚ which was dropped on the Hiroshima

Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide‚ students set out to find if there is a true 1:1 ratio in the empirical formula of MgO. This was determined by burning the Magnesium until a white smoke started to protrude. This showed the reaction of Oxygen combining with Magnesium to form Magnesium Oxide. This was then measured again and turned out to be slightly heavier than the measurement before. This added weight is Oxygen‚ forming the combustion of Magnesium Oxide. The formula for Magnesium Oxide is 〖〖Mg〗_1

Why did the Truman Administration decide to drop the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945? There has been much debate as to why Truman elected to drop the atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the summer of 1945. Historians have long debated the true purpose to which the atomic bombs were designed to fulfil upon there deployment. The Alperovitz thesis of the 1960 was accepted for many years. The thesis revolved around the idea that the atomic weapons were deployed as diplomatic tools to intimidate

DBQ ESSAY In Europe‚ the war with Germany was over but Japan was still fighting. So the U.S could concreted on the war with Japan. The U.S had atomic bombs ready and a decision had to be made; should they sent ground forces to invade Japan or should they bomb Japan. So on August 1945 the U.S decided to drop atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and this created some controversy. Some people though it was a good idea to bomb Japan‚ while others say that 200‚000 innocent people

It was estimated that invading Japan with a normal attack would cost 1.2 million casualties (Source #2‚ see annotation). This was one of the most prevalent factors in President Truman’s decision to authorize the use of the atomic bomb. The other leading influence on the atomic bomb’s justification was the Japanese

The alternative hypotheses in this case is dropping an atomic bomb against your enemies will end war and save lives. The null hypothesis was ending war and saving lives had nothing to do with the reason why the atomic bomb was dropped. It was dropped on the sole propose of showing the world that it would be willing to use nuclear weapons against its enemies. Finding the data on how many times we used bombs on enemies and non-enemies can test both hypotheses. After that we will take a look at the

6th 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima‚ Japan. Three days later‚ they dropped a second one on another Japanese city‚ Nagasaki. Those two bombs were first and only atomic weapons ever used in actual combat. Until atomic bombs were reported in “The New York Times”‚ most American citizens had never heard of atomic bombs. Ordinary bombs had been an important part of World War II‚ and they brought much destruction to both sides. This atomic bomb‚ the equivalent of 20‚000 tons of

speak)‚ there is much information regarding its atomic buildup. Every element’s atoms are composed of three main subatomic particles: neutrons‚ electrons and protons. Located in the atom’s nucleus‚ protons and neutrons are referred to as nucleons. The electrons rest outside of the nucleus at various energy levels (orbitals). Most of an atom’s mass comes from its very small nucleus‚ whose protons and neutrons each have a mass of approximately 1 u (atomic mass units). Electrons‚ on the other hand‚ have
