The Atomic and Nuclear Structure of an Atom The atom has three main components the protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus‚ while the electrons are found outside the atom’s nucleus. Each component of an atom has a charge to it. The protons have a positive charge. The electrons have a negative charge‚ and the neutrons have a neutral charge. The atoms also have a charge. For example hydrogen can be negative‚ positive or neutral. These are called

GREAT DISCOVERIES CHANGE LIVES Do you like watching television? I love it. I do not know what would I do if televisions did not exist. It is interesting‚ in several years‚ they have become a huge part of our lives‚ our indispensables. J.J. Thomson was inspired by some scientists and he provided us the opportunity of having televisions in our lives. Also other scientists improved his thoughts and experiments which leaded to the invention of the television afterwards. It is not that simple of course

their electrons very well‚ and so creating free electrons‚ carrying a negative charge to jump along the line of atoms in a wire. Resistance is caused when these electrons flowing towards the positive terminal have to ’jumps’ atoms. So if we double the length of a wire‚ the number of atoms in the wire doubles‚ so the number of jumps double‚ so twice the amount of energy is required: There are twice as many jumps if the wire is twice as long. The thinner the wire is the less channels of electrons in the

Electricity’s impact on Society Electricity has had multiple impacts on society both positve and negative. Electricity has had an effect on everyone in the world‚ even though some people have no understanding or have no use for electricity. For example‚ there are tribes in the Amazon who have never seen a lightbulb who have never beared witness too the heracy of Big brother and yet they are still effected by electricity. The chainsaws which cut down their beloved forests are designed by a man called

magnet and moved toward the positive magnet‚ leading to the discovery of negatively charged electrons. From this experiment‚ he was also able to conclude that electrons have mass based on how they swirled in the tube. The first identification of a subatomic particle inspired Thomson to create his plum-pudding model. This model featured the atom as a positively charged‚ solid sphere with randomly distributed electrons throughout it like chocolate chips in a chocolate chip cookie. However‚ the discoveries

known to contain other particles as well. Yet Thomson’s bold suggestion that cathode rays were material constituents of atoms turned out to be correct. The rays are made up of electrons: very small‚ negatively charged particles that are indeed fundamental parts of every atom. Modern ideas and technologies based on the electron‚ leading to television and the computer and much else‚ evolved through many difficult steps. Thomson’s

surface of a metal. If only 1 of each 5 × 109 incident photons is absorbed and causes an electron to be ejected from the surface‚ the total photocurrent in the circuit is ________. 3. Light of wavelength 330 nm falling on a piece of metal ejects electrons with sufficient energy which requires voltage V0 to prevent a electron from reading collector. In the same setup‚ light of wavelength 220 nm‚ ejects electrons which require twice the voltage V0 to stop them in reaching a collector. Find the numerical

effect? The photoelectric effect is when a clean metal surface emits electrons after light‚ especially ultraviolet‚ has been shone on at it. This happens because of a process called photoelectric emission whereby a single photon package of electromagnetic energy‚ called a quantum‚ is absorbed by metal surfaces. This energy is then transferred to one single electron which can then be released by the metal and that released electron is known as a photoelectron. The effect was first absorbed by German
