Book description
Learn about the process of Splitting The Atom with iMinds insightful
knowledge series. The possibility of the existence of the atom has
fascinated scientists for centuries. To begin with, it was more of a
logical belief than scientific fact. But the belief in its existence is
what motivated a number of people to develop the knowledge we now have
about the atom. Ernest Rutherford, with the help of Ernest Walton and
John Cockroft, first managed to split the atom in 1932. But they could
not have done so without the wealth of information others had passed
down to them. In the early 19th century, English scientist John Dalton
first changed atomic theory from a vague idea into a more concise
mathematical framework. He argued that all atoms of a given element must
be identical to each other and that all chemical compounds are formed as
a result of a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. But
one of the major hurdles was that nobody could actually see the atom.
