  5. Water electrolysis

  6. NA atoms = 1 Mole 22.4 liters How large? 30-3001012 meters How heavy? 2-4501025 kilograms How many? 31023/gram hydrogen Number of atoms per volume independent of atom type! (Avogadro) gas Atoms NA = 6.0221420  1023/Mol

  7. Periodic Table of Elements Het Periodiek Systeem nummering: kernlading Nobel gasses Not part of the original Mendeleev periodic table

  8. The atom

  12. electron

  13. Atoms: Rutherford’s view

  14. 1897 electron Thomson 1911 nucleus Rutherford 1911 proton Rutherford 1932 neutron Chadwick Elementary particles (1932): Electron, Proton & Neutron

  15. Physics just before 1900 ??????? all ok ??????? • No: few “minor” problems: • “black body” radiation • no eather? • natural radioactivity (Curie et al.) • stability of the Rutherford atom Done?

  16. I. Special relativity 1905

  17. Intermezzo: Einstein & relativity Time travel becomes a reality!

  18. 2L c t = L ‘click’ of the light clock at rest: t ‘hence-and-forward’ light flash period t: c=299792458 m/s (exact) observer at rest

  19. c=299792458 m/s (exact) v [m/s] L t’ == t 1v2/c2 2L c2v2 ½vt’ 2L2+(½vt’)2 c vt’ t’ = ‘hence-and-forward’ light flash period: t’ ‘click’ of the moving light clock: t’ (ct’)2 = 4L2+(vt’)2 t Moving clock ‘clicks’ slower! observer moving with velocity v

  33. scattered light wavelength ’ incident light wavelength  scattered electron III.Compton effect Compton 1922

  34. Duality: wave & particle characteristics It is safe to say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. R.P. Feynman

  35. Quantum mechanics is magic.Daniel Greenberger. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.Niels Bohr. Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. Niels Bohr. If you are not confused by quantum mechanics, you do not understand it. John Wheeler. If quantum theory is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.Albert Einstein. I do not like quantum mechanics; I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it. Erwin Schrödinger. more quotes
