to physics was his invention of radio activity and the work he did with protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons‚ where he concluded that an atom is mostly made up of empty space and the actual size of the atom is far smaller than the space it occupies. Before Rutherford had done his experiment‚ J.J Thompson had a theory that the negative charged electrons in an atom were floating around in positive charge. Thompson’s “plum pudding model” helped show his theory. Although‚ in 1911‚ Rutherford disproved

** Atom and Introduction to Nuclear physics ** Introduction Alpha-particle scattering 2.1 Experimental set-up ➢ Alpha particle o is a high-energy helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons. o has 2 positive charges. ➢ Gold foil was chosen since it has a high atomic mass. Thin gold foil‚ ~10-6m was bombarded by high-energy alpha particles. ➢ Angular deflections/ scattering of alpha particles were measured by observing

of radioactive decay‚ when an unstable nucleus splits into two or more pieces. One important process in particular it is responsible for is beta decay. This happens when a neutron emits an electron and transforms itself into a proton‚ changing the atom into another element. The weak force thus demonstrates itself primarily through changes in particle identity‚ rather than particle motions. While the strength of the weak force is

Whalley Partner: Ming Siegel Due: 1.14.10 Prelab A new atomic theory‚ in which all atoms of the same element are identical to one another and equal in mass‚ was proposed by the scientist Dalton. Although the theory had its flaws and was simple‚ it was revolutionary. Scientists became able to study the actual structure and mass of atoms after the discovery of radioactivity. Soon‚ isotopes were discovered‚ as atoms of the same element which have been built up to have different masses. Purpose The

How is that possible for two samples of hydrogen to contain the same number of atoms‚ yet have different weights? Exactly two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen. But individual atoms are far too small and too nomerous to be counted‚ so chemists use a unit

Molecular Geometry The specific three dimensional arrangements of atoms in molecules are referred to as molecular geometry. We also define molecular geometry as the positions of the atomic nuclei in a molecule. There are various instrumental techniques such as X-Ray crystallography and other experimental techniques which can be used to tell us where the atoms are located in a molecule. Using advanced techniques‚ very complicated structures for proteins‚ enzymes‚ DNA‚ and RNA have been determined
