The concept of the atom dates back to ancient Greek philosophers like Democritus and Leucippus around 400 BC. However, the modern understanding of the atom, with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons, was developed by scientists like J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr in the early 20th century.
Atom Technologies was created in 2006.
John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger were all instrumental in the development of our understanding of the atom. Each of them made significant contributions to the atomic theory and the structure of the atom.
When an ion is created, the number of electrons in the atom is changed. An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.
An ionic bond is created when one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in one atom becoming positively charged (cation) and the other becoming negatively charged (anion). This typically occurs between a metal and a nonmetal due to the large difference in electronegativity between the two atoms.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions.
