Question | Answer |
---|---|
J.J Thomson (1900's) | -Cathode rays are a stream of negatives particles (electrons). -Charge to mass ratio (1.76x10^8 C/g) -Atom is ball of positive charge w/ negatively charged particles embedded (electrons) |
Robert Millikan (1900's) | -Oil drop experiment -Charge and mass of electron |
E. Goldstein (1900's) | Found 'canal rays' which are protons |
Ernest Rutherford (1900's) | -Gold foil experiment -shot alpha radiation at gold foil ~most went straight through ~some deflected (1/8000) -Atom is empty space w/small dense positive region containing atom's mass (nucleus) |
John Dalton (17-1800's) | -Father of Modern Chemistry |
Francis Bacon (1500's) | -Heat is motion by very small particles -importance of experiment -facts not derived from authority (contradict held belief) |
Galileo (1500's) | -proposed there was matter too small to see in chemical changes |
Robert Boyle (1600's) | -pressure/volume relationship of gases |
Lavoisier (1700's) | -systematic names for elements -combustion involved material's oxygen -important accurate weight measurements -Law of Conservation of Mass |
Proust (1700's) | -Law of Definite Proportions ~elements in compound always in same ratio of masses |
James Chadwick (1900's) | -existence of neutrons -difficult to find because of no charge |
