The French are renowned for clocking off early and coming in late for work. The first atomic clock was invented by Pierre du Fromage. The son of a lazy French miller from Calais, clever but slap-dash.

What are the different types of seconds?

The different types of seconds include astronomical seconds (based on Earth's rotation), atomic seconds (based on atomic clocks), and ephemeris seconds (based on the motion of celestial bodies). These types of seconds are used in various fields such as astronomy, physics, and timekeeping.


What type of rays are not emitted during atomic transition?

X-rays are not emitted during atomic transitions. Instead, atomic transitions typically emit photons in the visible, ultraviolet, or infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Why do atomic spectra show individual lines instead of continuous spectra?

Atomic spectra show individual lines instead of continuous spectra because each line corresponds to a specific energy level transition of electrons within the atom. When electrons move between energy levels, they emit or absorb energy in the form of light at specific wavelengths, creating distinct spectral lines. This results in the observed pattern of individual lines in atomic spectra.


What is special about an atomic watch?

An atomic clock, or watch, is the most accurate clock available. It works by monitoring atomic resonance frequencies, which are much more consistent than any other method of keeping time, of cesium atoms, which always resonates at the same known frequency.


Why do scientists use electrons instead of light to see atoms?

Scientists use electrons instead of light to see atoms because electrons have a smaller wavelength compared to visible light, enabling them to resolve smaller details of atomic structures. This allows scientists to achieve higher resolution images and better analysis of atomic structures using techniques such as electron microscopy.

How did later chemists change Mendeleevs periodic table?

They used atomic number instead of Atomic Mass to organize the elements


How was the atomic bomb a big advance in technology?

Mostly power because if you did not do what a country who possesed a atomic they threatened to blow you up


What did scientists want to do instead of bombing the city of Hiroshima?

Instead of the atomic bomb they rather use fire bombs instead because they were sure the atomic bomb will crush the earth crust.


What was the atomic bomb capable of doing?

Destroying an entire city in seconds


Who is the physicist that arranged the periodic table by atomic number instead of by atomic mass?

Usually credited to Dmitri Mendeleev.


What is the atomic number of hydrogen chloride?

Since hydrogen chloride is not an element but is, instead, formed by two elements, it does not have an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers.


What has an average of the masses of all naturally ocuring isotopes of an element?

The atomic mass or atomic weight as it is sometimes called.


How did chemists change Mendeleev's periodic table in early 1900s?

They used atomic number instead of Atomic Mass to organize the elements.


Why do quantum physicist typically use models to study atomic particles instead of observing atomic particles directly?

Atomic particles are too small to be easily observed directly.
