How did Isaac Newton contribute to the atomic theory?

Im sorry 4 not being completely sure, but................. Newton believed in atomic forces. He thought that atoms and atomic power could not be properly understood without the use of quantum mechanics. -Sorry TJ


Do the laws of motion apply to the speed of light and movement in atoms?

In fact, the laws of motion do apply; you just have to be careful which set of laws you use. Newtonian laws of motion do not apply to light or to the movement of atoms, but relativity theory applies to light, and quantum mechanics applies to movements at the atomic and sub-atomic levels.


How can you use Dalton's atomic theory to explain why every sample of pure substance has the same properties?

Dalton's atomic theory states that a pure substance is made up of tiny particles called 'atoms', and that each atom of a substance will be identical in shape, size and behavior to any other atom of that substance, regardless of source or location. Any two samples of a pure substance will demonstrate the same properties because all of these samples are comprised of identical atoms which behave identically.


Who is credited with the first atomic theory based on expiramental evidence?

scientific method used in the development of atomic theory


Why were original atomic models not as accurate as the models you use today?

Thomson proposed that negative electrons were located throughout a positively-charged atomic mass like plums in a pudding. Rutherford's experiments revealed that most of the mass of an atom was concentrated in a tiny region in its center, the nucleus, surrounded by nearly-massless electrons in their orbitals.

Why is John Dalton's atomic theory still mentioned in science?

Scientists use Dalton's atomic theory even though parts of it have been proven wrong as the basis of other discoveries. His theory about atomic elements being the same was wrong but has been used for a long time even to the discovery of isotopes.


Why is John Dalton atomic theory important?

Atomic theory is important because it helps us explain a lot of things about how our world works. According to Richard Feynmann (in his lectures on physics), if he were to choose the one most important statement about physics (about how our world works) it is this: that matter is made up of atoms.

What is the atomic weight used for?

You can use atomic weight to calculate the number of atoms in a given sample of an element. # g of sample element x (6.02 x 1023 / atomic weight in grams) = # of atoms
