nuclear energy was linked to military purpose. The Atoms for Peace speech from Eisenhower in 1953 helped to change this point of view. In his speech he persuaded the world increase the researches within the nuclear power field with the focus on the energy possibilities‚ and start to decrease the potential destructive nuclear weapons. He shifted the focus from nuclear energy from war and fear to an open and peaceful way of generating energy (Atoms for Peace). The Dutch government already saw nuclear

plants‚ animals and humans became endangered by the rise in temperatures and carbon levels. It was then that Carla‚ a carbon atom was born at the Sahara desert. At night‚ Carla and her friends went outside to watch the stars peacefully. It had never occurred to them that the night would bring a sudden kidnap. All of Carla’s friends and Carla were attached to two oxygen atoms. Unfortunately‚ Carla fainted during the kidnap so when she woke up‚ she took the surprise of no longer being carbon but carbon

The Bohr Model An atom* is the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of that element. Each of the known 118 elements has atoms that are different from the atoms of all other elements. This gives each element a unique atomic structure. According to the classical Bohr model‚ atoms have a planetary type of structure that consists of a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons‚ as illustrated in Figure 1–1. The nucleusconsists of positively charged particles called

This would be because each scientist has had a different approach and has discovered new understandings from their research. Without these men researching and experimenting‚ we would not know all of the different aspects of the atom. John Dalton’s effect on the modern atomic theory was essential because he formulated the first modern description of the atom as the fundamental building blocks

is composed of small particles called atoms. The different postulates of Dalton¶s atomic theory are stated as follows: (1) All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms. (2) Atoms are indivisible particles‚ which can not be created or destroyed in a chemicalreaction. (3) Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties. (4) Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties. (5) Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers

Rutherford discovered the nucleus in 1911 -Atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios to make compounds. -In chemical reactions‚ atoms are combined‚ separated o rearranged. -All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. -Atoms may have different isotopes (basically a different number of neutrons in the nucleus) and hence have different mass. -Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. -Atoms can be split‚ as in the decay of Uranium

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 infinite in number‚ always moving and capable of joining together. His theory was ignored and forgotten for more than 2‚000 years becaus the eminent philosophers of the time‚ Aristotle and

determine the atomic number of an atom. * Define and determine the mass number of an atom. What is an atom’s atomic number? The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element’s atomic number. In other words‚ each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element. For example‚ all hydrogen atoms‚ and only hydrogen atoms‚ contain one proton and have an atomic number of 1. All carbon atoms‚ and only carbon atoms‚ contain six protons and have
