(0.3)HISTORY OF ATOM- Antimony explains













I could remeber during the 1890’s when I met this friend of mine who contributed a lot to the discovery and explanation of the atom, I call him J.J Thomson😋

J.J Thomson was a physicist who is credited for discovering the 

electron.😙 He used his research on cathode ray tube technology in this 

discovery. 

CATHODE RAY TUBE (stop wondering. Antimony got you)

How does this Tube Work?🤔

1. Nearly Empty tube (Air has been sucked out)😉

2. An electric charge is passed through the tube. Travels from cathode to 

anode😮

3. The charge is invisible, so to see where it traveled a fluorescent screen is 

placed at back of tube. Where the beam hits, a 

dot will appear on the screen. You could also use a 

fluorescent gas and the whole tube will light up.😫

4. This beam will always travel straight if not 

interfered with.😏

5. The deflection coils each have a specific charge. 

One is positive and the other is negative.🤐

6. Thomson showed that 

the charge would deflect away from the negative 

coil. He then stated that this charge was thus a 

negative charge.🤥

J.J Thomson was an excellent physicist and thus did not stop when he had found this negative 

charge. Through a series of clever experiments he was able to predict the mass of this charge. 

SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION AT ITS BEST😎😎😎

He then found out that this charge was 1000 times lighter that a hydrogen atom. He made a bold 

statement saying that this negative charge must be inside an atom. This negative charge (he called 

corpuscles) later became known as the electron. ( This guy self get time o😐. My devoted friend🤗

Now let's check the atomic model he postulated.

Using what he had discovered, Thomson predicted what an atom should look 

like. These are the key points to Thomson’s Atomic Model: (note this😶

1. Because of its design this model is known as the plum 

pudding model😁

2. Each atom is a sphere filled with positively charged 

‘fluid’. This resembles the sticky jam part of a pudding.

3. Corpuscles (later called electrons), are the negatively charged particles 

suspended in this ‘fluid’. This resembles the plums in the pudding.

4. He did not predict the movement of these electrons😉

 Mr thompson was really great. I think HD loves plum pudding. He just gave a nice theory but let's continue the journey down to our present day model.🤐

CELLS-Antimony explains😊

  What is cell? Maybe you have heard of that word before..🤔   Cell is the basic building blocks of all living things.😋  intresting right?.  The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of themselves.😊😐 Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell. Human cells contain the following major parts which am going to list in alphabetical order: Cytoplasm Within cells, the cytoplasm is made up of a jelly-like fluid (called the cytosol) and other structures that surround the nucleus. Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is a network of long fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework. The cytoskeleton has several critical functions, including determining cell s

Ohh. Now in 1920 this Scientist;Erwin Schrödinger vex and scatter everywhere with his new hypothesis.🤓 Erwin Schrödinger was a revolutionary physicist who used Heisenberg’s  uncertainty principle to come up with the atomic model that we still use today. SCHRÖDINGER’S ATOMIC MODEL (AKA THE CLOUD MODEL)  After doing a lot of work he concluded these salient points am going to alight now. They include: 1. An electron does not travel in an exact orbit😗 2. We can predict where it will probably be😙 3. We cannot say for certain where it is, but only where it ought to be.😚 4. The type of probability orbit is dependent on the energy level described by Bohr☺ Let's now summarize what we know of atoms. The smallest part of an element is called an atom Each atom (of an element) is different in structure from  other atoms (of other elements) An atom can be divided in smaller subatomic particles: Protons, Electrons and Neutrons The nucleus is the centre of an atom. It contains protons and neut

WHY THE SKY IS BLUE-Antimony explains

  Antimony-Explains Why is the sky blue? It’s a common misconception that the sky is blue because it reflects the blue of the seas and oceans. A lot of myths have also been told about our blue sky😉. That is why Antimony is here for you. To debunk those non relevant ideas.😊 As for the seas reflection it is very wrong. In fact, it’s the Earth’s atmosphere, and a process known as 'scattering', that causes our skies to be blue.   So what is this scattering. As white light passes through our atmosphere, tiny air molecules cause it to ‘scatter’. The scattering caused by these tiny air molecules (known as Rayleigh scattering) increases as the wavelength of light decreases. Violet and blue light have the shortest wavelengths and red light has the longest. Therefore, blue light is scattered more than red light and the sky appears blue during the day. When the Sun is low in the sky during sunrise and sunset, the light has to travel further through the Earth’s atmosphere. We don’t see t
