Atomic Structure and Radioactivity Week 1 Post #2
In today's lecture we learned a lot about scientists and their theories on Atomic Structure and Radioactivity. Most of the scientists got some characteristics wrong because certain things had yet to be discovered. Though as time progressed the scientists' theories became more and more accurate. We also learned about the Law of Constant Composition, which states that a given compound always has the same composition, regardless of where it comes from. This law was established by a scientist named Dalton. J.J. Thomson, another scientist, created the plum pudding model, also known as the chocolate cookie model. It states that electrons are embedded in a positively charged spherical "cloud", much like chocolate chips are embedded in the cookie dough.

I enjoyed this lecture because it was neat to see how people thought back in the day and how often they were wrong. If I don't study I will probably end up mixing up some of the experiments and their scientist but thanks to your discovery of the flashcards and the video I might not!
ReplyDeleteI think the pictures that you used are really helpful especially to visual learners. All your links are also really helpful. Especially the flashcards because flashcards are my favorite way of studying!
