What particle did J. J. Thomson discover?

according to jj thomsons model of an atom,an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons in it.however,it was later found that positively charged particles reside at the center of the atom called nucleus,and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.


How did the discoveries made by JJ Thompson and James Chadwick shape what you know the atom to look like today?

It should be noted here that no one knows what an atom looks like, and conventional wisdom infers that an atom is just the border of energy that we can see evidence of. This is surely not worded correctly for a scientist--but the point is that a postulate of science goes that we will never actually 'see' an atom, no matter how powerful our microscopes get, because they border the quantum level, where the physical world reveals its true nature as energy.


Which pairing does not correctly match the scientist with the contribution to the understanding of the atom?

The pairing of Isaac Newton with the contribution to the understanding of the atom is incorrect. Newton was primarily known for his work in physics and mathematics, particularly his laws of motion and universal gravitation, which were foundational to classical mechanics. The understanding of the atom was more significantly influenced by scientists like John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, and Ernest Rutherford.


What fundamental change in our understanding of the atom was brought about by the work of Marie Curie?

Marie Curie's work on radioactivity fundamentally changed our understanding of the atom by demonstrating that atoms are not indivisible and can undergo spontaneous transformation. She showed that atoms of one element can transmute into atoms of another through radioactive decay, challenging the idea of atoms as immutable building blocks of matter. This contributed to the development of modern nuclear physics and our understanding of the structure of the atom.


Which 5 guys created the atom?

John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger were all instrumental in the development of our understanding of the atom. Each of them made significant contributions to the atomic theory and the structure of the atom.

How is Thompson's model of atom different from Dalton's?

If i remember correctly, Dalton's focuses more on the nucleus while Thompson's focuses more on electrons. But I'm not sure. well in 1803 John Dalton makes a strong case that atoms are small, solid balls and Joeseph John Thompson discovers electrons, and developed plum pudding model of an atom..... Dalton says that nothings smaller than the atom, but Thompson says that electrons are.
