What fundamental change in our understanding of the atom was brought about by the work of Marie Curie?
Transmutation of elements -- huh -- the atom was thought to be the unbreakable atom of Greek legend, but Dr. M. Curie's work showed otherwise.
The number of what identifies whether an atom carries a charge ion or is neutral?
Electrons An atom that becomes stripped of any given number electrons becomes an ion. That is my understanding. :-)
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.
Why did Rutherford change Thomson's model of the atoms?
According to his Thompson's model, an atom was a sphere of positive matter that held electrons, so Rutherford discovered that an atom has a nucleus and that the nucleus contains most of the matter of the atom. Also that the atom has electrons, protons, and neutrons surrounding it.

What was thompson's major discovery in the structure of the atom?
Isotopes and Electrons
Who described the atom as being like plum?
J.J. Thompson
Who said electrons are randomly put in the atom?
J.J Thompson
Which scientist found that electrons scattered throughout the atom?
J.J Thompson
Who described the atom as being like plum pudding?
J.J. Thompson
What was Dmitri Mendeleev's importance in understanding the atom?
you answer it for me !!
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.
What scientist is associated with the plum pudding model of the atom?
J. J. Thompson.
What did Niels Bohr contribute to the understanding of the atom?
Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model of the atom. It was an improvement on previous models (Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's model, etc.) which depicted the atom as a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons. Niels Bohr was also a member of the team of scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
What year did JJ Thompson found electrons in an atom?
100 hundred years ago
