justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Japan? The dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan ended world war two. The decision to do so was solely that of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces‚ Harry S. Truman. As President Truman had to ask himself whether or not it was justifiable to use a weapon of untold destructive force. The answer would change the world. I. The Dropping of the Atomic Bomb A. How was the atomic bomb created? 1. The atomic bomb was created in the south

U.S. chose to use the atomic bomb against Japan in hopes of ending the war swiftly and obtaining ultimate power over post-war decisions. They failed to realize the consequences that would follow their detrimental decision. Not only would the bomb kill thousands of innocent lives‚ consequently it would trigger an effect that would create a desire for other countries to possess an atomic bomb as well. Alternatives to the bomb were present‚

GENERAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF NUCLEAR BOMBS According to the movie‚ TRINITY AND BEYOND: THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE‚ on July the sixteenth year 1945‚ at a site called "Trinity"‚ a plutonium bomb ’ was piled and taken up the top of a tower. This plutonium bomb ’ was exploded thereby generating a very high measure of flash light and a fireball that radiated through 0.6 kilometers (0.37 miles) in 2 seconds. The detonative energy or power was equivalent to 18.6 kilotons of TNT. This fume grew up

1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)

Atomic structure: scientists 1. Democritus: 1st person to think of atom (500 BCE)- philosopher Atom is the smallest piece of an element that has same properties as the element. 2. Lavisier: Law of conservation of mass/ matter • Mass can’t be created or destroy; same amount of stuff 3. Joseph Proust: Law of constant composition (law of definite Proportions) • A compound is always made of the same elements in the same ratio. 4. John Dalton: English school teacher who derived the atomic theory

The Atomic Model has changed over time‚ as the years‚ decades‚ and centuries go by we get a better understanding of the atom and what it looks like. The Atomic Model has changed drastically based on the understanding we have on it‚ each new model has added more information to what we know about it‚ making it easier for scientists and the world to understand. The Atomic Model is a very important part of Science and Chemistry‚ it helps explain the structure and what is inside the atom‚ the particle

a physics professor at Columbia University‚ suggests a clock could be made from a technique he developed in the 1930’s called atomic beam magnetic resonance. 1949 Using Rabi’s technique‚ NIST (then the National Bureau of Standards) announces the world’s first atomic clock using the ammonia molecule as the source of vibrations. 1952 NIST announces the first atomic clock using cesium atoms as the vibration source. This clock is named NBS-1. 1954 NBS-1 is moved to NIST’s new laboratories

History of the Atomic Model Just as we once believed that the earth was flat‚ our understanding of the atom was once extremely limited. As time passes‚ we begin to discover more and more about the world we live in. We have come to know much about the atom over the past two hundred years through the work of numerous brilliant scientists. Throughout history‚ scientists have come up with many experiments and atomic models to explain the atoms all around us‚ all leading up to our modern understanding

The History of Atomic Theory Atomos: Not to Be Cut The atomic model has changed throughout the centuries starting in 400 BC‚ when it looked like a billiard ball. Democritus: 400 BC The question: Can matter be divided into smaller particles? Or can it be infinitely divided? Matter can be divided into the smallest piece‚he named it “atomos”: not to be cut. Said that atoms were small‚ hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes. Atoms were
