The atomic age was primarily caused by the development and use of nuclear weapons, starting with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The Manhattan Project, a research and development program during World War II, led to the creation of the first atomic bombs, marking the beginning of the atomic age.

Are elements organized by atomic number or atomic mass?

On very early versions of the Periodic Table the elements were organized by atomic mass, because it was measurable and the concept of atomic number was unknown. After Rutherford and Bohr developed their model of the structure of the atom, the Periodic Table was reorganized by atomic number (which caused a few elements to swap positions).


What happens to the atomic number when an isotope releases gamma radiation?

It depends on what caused the gamma event in the first place.Strictly speaking, gamma radiation is caused by the de-excitation of the nucleus, so the atomic number (and Atomic Mass) does not change during a gamma event.However, the gamma event is usually precipitated by some other event, such as a beta or alpha decay that does change the configuration of the nucleus. An alpha event reduces the atomic number by 2 (and reduces the atomic mass by 4), while the beta event increases the atomic number by 1 (and does not change the atomic mass very much).Its actually more complex than that, but the answer to the original question is that nothing really happens to the atomic number during a gamma event.


Why dont atomic bombs destroy ozone?

Atomic bombs primarily release energy in the form of heat and light, which does not directly affect ozone molecules. Ozone depletion is mainly caused by chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that break down ozone in the stratosphere. Therefore, atomic bombs do not contribute to ozone depletion.


What problem is caused by using atomic mass to place elements in order?

There are some elements that would get placed in an order that would not be correct for their electronic configuration.
