    in ages and you’ve taught me so much so I need your advice. The atomic structure in my point of view is completely different to John Dalton’s. His model influenced me to create mine; Dalton’s claim was that matter consists of atoms, which are indestructible, atoms of the same element were identical in mass and some properties, but atoms from different elements don’t have similar characteristics. He said that atoms are the smallest unit of matter, and that atoms combined as compounds in fixed numerical

    Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life Page 31 Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that act on the object, such as the gravitational force. Element: A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means; all atoms of an element have the same atomic number. Atom: The smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical properties of that

    Atom History Essay An Atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The Atom was theorized by a man named Democritus of Abdera, Thrace in between c.a 460 BC - ca. 370 B.C. Atom is derived from the Greek word “atomos” , which means to be uncuttable. He had a theory that everything is composed of “atoms”, which he believed that these minuscule objects are indivisible, indestructible and have and always been in motion

    Greek word, atomos which means that everything is uncut table. The atom was discovered by Ernest Rutherford while he was doing an experiment in 1911-1919. Ernest Rutherford suggested at first that the atoms orbited around atomic the nucleus, just like the planets. Atoms are basic units of matter that are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are particles that are found in the center of the atom, and the electrons are particles that are found in shells that orbit around the nucleus

    about its history, discovery, origin of name, etc. Phosphorus was discovered in Germany by Hennig Brand in 1669. Its element symbol is “P” considering that is the first letter in the name of the element. The chemical element of atomic number 15 obtains 30.974 atomic mass units. Phosphorus has 23 isotopes. Because this element has 3 energy levels, it is located in period 3. Phosphorus is within the Nitrogen Family. Other members in this family are Nitrogen and Arsenic. These are all in the Nitrogen Family

    Pseudoscience is different from science because science is set up in a way that any incorrect hypothesis is exposed and can be corrected if it conflicts with experiment. For example, Dalton's atomic theory said that all matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms, atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements, atoms cannot be created or destroyed, atoms of different elements may combine with each other in a fixed, simple, whole number ratios to

    The Atomic Theory The atomic theory is a fundamental scientific theory of the nature of matter, which states that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms, which came from the Greek word atomon, meaning ‘uncuttable’. This theory was based on the concept that any given item in the universe could be broken down using pico- and femtometer atomic/subatomic/alpha particles. If this idea had never been composed, science would have suffered as a result and many scientists would not have been
