Discovery of Atomic Particles
Electron - Discharge Tube experiments These experiments were conducted in detail by J.J. Thomson and he studied the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure in a cylindrical glass tube. It was discovered that at extremely low pressure, gases become conductors of e..
Discovery of Neutrons
The whole mass of an atom is due to the nucleus, which means that the nucleus must contain protons equal to the mass of the atom. As the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, the atomic mass should be equal to the atomic number. But for ..
Discovery of Protons
Production of anode rays - Since the atom is electrically neutral there must be positively charged particles present in the atom to neutralize the negative charges of the electrons. Goldstein experimentally proved the existence of protons in the atom..
Discovery of Radioactivity
The discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity was purely accidental. In 1896, Henry Becquerel, a French scientist accidentally found that in presence of salt of uranium, photographic plates got heavily fogged even though they were wrapped in opaque paper. He concluded that the uranium ..
Discovery of Electrons
Production of cathode rays - In 1885, Sir William Crookes carried out a series of investigations into the behaviour of metals heated in a vacuum. The experiment of Crookes and others showed that a heated cathode produced a stream of radiation, which could cause gases at low pressure to glow and whi..

Since atoms on the whole are neutral, the presence of negatively charged electrons suggested the presence of positively charged particles..
Rutherford's model - discovery of nucleus
Ernest Rutherford, an energetic Scientist From New Zealand working in England, was studying the properties of particles spontaneously emitted by radioactive substances. Of particular interest was a positively charged, relatively heavy emission named alpha particle. Quantities ..
Discovery of Radioactivity and Nature of Radiations
In 1896, the phenomenon of radioactivity was accidentally discovered by French scientist Henri Becquerel. He was performing experiments with uranium compounds. He accidentally placed a crystal of potassium uranyl sulphate over photographic plate wrapped with usual black paper. On developing the p..
Discovery of Neutrons
Although Rutherford's model was enormously successful at explaining the scattering of alpha particles, there was a problem when the experimental data were used to calculate the mass of the nucleus. From the results of the scattering experiments, it was possible to calculate the char..
Atom
Atom is the smallest particle of an element, which may or may not have independent existence. It is made up of subatomic particles like electrons, protons and neutrons. Atoms of one type of element differ from those of the other due to different number of su..

This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
It was a great pleasure working with this tutor was able to take me through the steps of my math problems which was very helpful because since I don't have lots of experience with math by the tutor doing the steps it helps me understand a great deal. Im so excited that Im finally getting this amazing service. We got so much done. thank you.
Very accurate. shows work on the board to complete quations well which helps in learning a lot. -daniel
I give 5 stars to TurorVista, their tutors are Very intelligent, quick and easy to comprehend. I recommend to others - Leon
