First came Thales,
who
thought the world rose from water
But
then came Anaximenes, thinking along different lanes.
thought
the world rose from air.
Democritus
arrived later,
went
on to say about atoms,
other
philosophers thought this theory wasn't better,
because
a world made from tiny balls was something they couldn't fathom.
The
common era arrived
and
with it a blast of new scientists
such
as Lavoisier, Proust and Dalton
who
in their work were the finest.
Lavoisier
set the law of conservation of mass
and
Proust the low of definite proportion.
Dalton
came up with the atomic theory,
and
with this the three made history.
Bright
and erudite, the 70s dawned,
JJ
Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr were born.
in
chemistry, these three were fond
for
they made a discovery in which the three sciences could be bond.
JJ
Thomson discovered the negatively charges electrons
and
made the plum pudding model of an atom
But
many thought he went in the wrong direction
As
Rutherford proved JJ's theory's problems
Ernest
Rutherford did the gold foil experiment,
fired
alpha particles at atoms of gold,
they
passed straight thought the atoms of the element
from
this, the basic structure of the atom was mould.
Thought
the structure seemed right,
it
raised questions about it's stability
Bohr
came into the light and said,
"the
atom has discrete orbits" sensibly.
