Discovery of Atomic Particles - Electrons and Nucleus

Description
In this lecture the atom is discussed. Starting from the beginning of interaction between molecules i.e. Coulomb's force law to describe the interaction between two particles. Description of atom using classical physics, once we had atom and nucleus the classical mechanics to explain how that behaves. Then discovery of the electron and the nucleus is explained. Then atomic theory of matter is discussed. After that Newtonian mechanics to describe how atoms behaved. Then the experiment of J.J. Thomson and Ernest Rutherford is discussed and what are the results come out after the experiments performed by them is also noted and discussed.Prof. Catherine Drennan and Dr. Elizabeth Vogel Taylor, 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2008, Massachusetts Institute of Technology: MIT OpenCourseWare), http://ocw.mit.edu (Accessed March 4, 2011).
