Democristus:
Democritus was born in Abdera, Greece 460 BC. As it was so long ago, people are unsure when he was exactly born so they estimate roughly around 460 BC. He had sadly passed away 370 BC but no one knows where, but then makes that he lived around 100 years!
Careers:
Woohoo now careers!
Back in 460 BC there was no technology that we have today! There was no powerful telescopes that we have!
So how did he find out about atoms???
Well! Since Democritus was a contemporary Socrates, he had used simple scenarios to explain that nothing was the result of “nothing” but only to the naked eye, But after that “ nothing “ was the unlimited atoms.
John Dalton:
Birth/Death
John Dalton was born September the 6th 1766 in a little town …show more content…
He was inspired by it and started doing experiments out the book. Through the further experimentation, involving firing and alpha particles at foil, Rutherford made a new discovery that nearly the total mass of an atom is concentrated in a nucleus. He then gave birth to the nuclear model, a discovery that paved the way to the invention of the atom bomb. Rutherford was awarded with countless of honours throughout his career, such as several honorary degrees and fellowship from organizations such as institution of electrical engineers. In 1914 he was knighted. In 1931 he was as well elected president of the institute of physics.
So how did Lord Rutherford discover the nucleus?
In 1911 Rutherford and his colleagues explored the nucleus of the atom testing their famous gold foil experiment. They shot alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil, and observed that a number went through, but some bounced back.
Sir James Chadwick:
James chadwich was born on the 20th 1891, Manchester , UK and had died 24th July 1974 Cambridge UK.
Fun facts:
During the world war 1 James was still alive. Mr. Chadwick was knighted by the crown of England in 1945 making him Sir James Chadwick. During the second world war two he helped develop the atomic bomb.
Careers:
In James early life he was a English physicist, A professor in the physical laboratory in Manchester, that got awarded the Nobel prize in 1935 in Physics for his discovery
