John Dalton proposed the atomic theory in 1808, J.J. Thomson introduced the Plum Pudding model in 1897, and Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1911 discovered the atom's structure with mostly empty space, a nucleus, and orbiting electrons, leading to the concept of electrically neutral atoms. Isotopes, unstable isotopes, background radiation sources, nuclear radiation types, radioactive decay processes, and applications of beta and gamma radiation in nuclear fission, medical diagnostics, and cancer treatment are essential aspects of the study of atoms and their behavior.
Insights
- John Dalton proposed that matter is made of indivisible atoms with identical properties for elements, setting the foundation for understanding the fundamental building blocks of all substances.
- Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment revealed the atom's mostly empty space with a dense nucleus, emphasizing the concept of electrically neutral atoms and the crucial role of protons, neutrons, and electrons in forming the structure of matter.
