James Chadwick
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Kevin, Ali20 POINTS
British nuclear physicist
Discovered the neutron
his discovery led to new radioisotopes, split atoms and molecules, and the nuclear chain reactions that led to the atomic bomb.
Involved with the development of the atomic bomb
Dmitri Mendeleev
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Kevin, Ali14 POINTS
Created the periodic table
His first periodic table listed the elements in order of increasing molar mass
Categorized elements by matching similar properties
He was surprisingly accurate and predicted where elements would go
William Crookes
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Ali, Kevin21 POINTS
Studied electrical discharges of gases
Lead to new atomic models
Studied physics in addition to chemistry
Discovered gases had charges
Isolated Thallium
Invented Radiometer
J.J. Thomson
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Kevin, Ali22 POINTS
Studied/discovered electrons and protons
Created atomic model with protons and electrons inside
Proposed the plum pudding model of an atom
Nobel Prize in physics in 1906
Developed an experiment with cathode rays that were deflected by magnetic and electrical fields
John Dalton
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Ali, Kevin15 POINTS
English scientist and teacher
Studied behaviour of gases
Discovered all atoms of an element are identical
Model of the atom did not include electrical nature
Henri Becquerel
Julia, Sam, Sepehr, Kevin, Ali23 POINTS
Discovered radioactivity → considered most dramatic scientific discovery
Received the Nobel Prize in Physics 1903
Helped created nuclear physics
Elected to Academy of Sciences after presenting his findings
Discovered Becquerel rays
