charged electrons. Here, the electrons represents the plume in the pudding of positive charge. Hence his model was known as plum pudding model. It was also known as watermelon model where the positive charge was the flesh of the watermelon and the electrons were the sects. a) J.J. Thomson who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model. b) In Thomson’s model,…

Art can show how religion and gender can affect one another in many different ways. I selected the Christ and the Adulteress, located at the Getty Center. Which was painted in the 1620’s. This painting shows a mysterious woman being punished while men are listening to Jesus’ final judgement. I want to focus on how gender and religion were treated during the 17th century. This was a time period when women were labeled as adulterers, or being accused of practicing witchcraft. And were being…

Through the understanding of the structure of the atom, scientist were able to isolate system of electrons and atomic nucleus. The atomic part of physics is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and the processes by which the arrangements was changed. Atomic theory has affected the field of physics in a way that has given scientist knowledge on how to produce an atomic bomb. Scientists has differentiated between atomic physics that deals with the atom as a…

theory has come a long way since 400 B.C.E when the atomic model looked like a billiard ball, it is a very fundamental part of modern chemistry. About twenty four hundred years ago the first supporters of an atomic theory were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus who proposed the theory that matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces over and over, he called these tiny pieces atomos. This comes from the meaning “cannot be cut”. He thought that atoms were small, hard…

philosophical argument concerning our history and our future; the argument states that if determinism is true, and the past and the laws of the universe determine the future, then individuals do not hold sway over what is to come. In the simpler words of Leucippus, "Nothing occurs at random, but everything for a reason and by necessity".There are two kinds of actions; those that depend on free will and those that do not. Within history, there is a minimum of free will. Leo Tolstoy's War and…

in the nineteenth century instead of Democritus, similarly the fatalism states that every event is predetermined it does not normally requires any casual law or any other changes. Determinism is sometimes confused as Predestination or Fatalism. Leucippus (mentor and materialist) say “Nothing occurs at random, but…

the event of an eclipse, Heraclitus claimed the bowl had turned away from the earth. Secondly, very few philosophers explain the foundations of the universe with atomic theory, despite it being partly correct. Democritus (460 BC) and his teacher Leucippus (500 BC) devised atomic theory and they explained that atoms are indestructible, eternal and in constant motion. They form in different shapes and positions. Most importantly, atoms form everything, the earth, the sky and the entire universe.…

more or less in line with modern principles, but many held firmly to ideas which are at odds with the current understanding of reality. I discuss extramission theory (a hallmark of Greek optical science), the work of the atomists Democritus and Leucippus who rejected it and presented compelling (but flawed) alternative frameworks, the contrasting views of pivotal (and ubiquitous) philosophers Plato and Aristotle, Euclid’s highly mathematical and geometric treatment of optics, and Ptolemy’s…

Model to Rutherford 's Model By the time that Joseph John Thompson confirmed that Cathode Rays were made up of negatively charged particles in 1897. The groundwork for the idea of the atom had been in the works for many years. From ideas from Leucippus and Democritus from ancient Greece who first proposed the idea of 'atomos ' meaning “inadvisable”. This idea of the smallest thing went on largely ignored in favour of the ideas of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates who believed that everything was…
