Intro to Atomic Structure and Radioactivity Unit

Today in class, we learned about the basic theories of the first people to learn about atomic structure. These people included Dalton, Thomson and Rutherford. Each of the men contributed to the theory on atomic structure in a different way, yet all of them had very important ideas to what we think and know today. Today, I also learned about the Law of Constant Composition. This law requires that a specific compound always comes in the same ratio, or the proportion by mass.

Additionally, I learned of a new project that we are starting in class. The project is mainly about the composition of solar bodies, and a spectrum analysis of each. Space is a very interesting topic to me, so I am interested to learn about all of the solar bodies that I will be researching. Although this is another project, I think it will be much easier than the Frontier Chemistry Project, and it will definitely be more interesting.
