 Thomson Model of Atom 

What is thomson model of atom ? 

           J. J. Thomson, in 1898, proposed that an atom possesses a spherical shape (radius approximately 10^-10 m) in which the positive charge is uniformly distributed. The electrons are embedded into it in such a manner as to give the most stable electrostatic arrangement. Many different names are given to this model, for example, plum pudding, raisin pudding or watermelon.      

   

         visualised as a pudding or watermelon of positive charge with plums or seeds (electrons) embedded into it. An important feature of this model is that the mass of the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the atom. Although this model was able to explain the overall neutrality of the atom, but was not consistent with the results of later experiments. Thomson was awarded Nobel Prize for physics in 1906, for his theoretical and experimental investigations on the conduction of electricity by gases.

           In the later half of the nineteenth century different kinds of rays were discovered, besides those mentioned earlier. Wilhalm Röentgen (1845-1923) in 1895 showed that when electrons strike a material in the cathode ray tubes, produce rays which can cause fluorescence in the fluorescent materials placed outside the cathode ray tubes. Since Röentgen did not know the nature of the radiation, he named them X-rays and the name is still carried on. It was noticed that X-rays are produced effectively when electrons strike the dense metal anode, called targets. These are not deflected by the electric and magnetic fields and have a very high penetrating power through the matter and that is the reason that these rays are used to study the interior of the objects. These rays are of very short wavelengths (∼0.1 nm) and possess electro-magnetic character.

                     Henri Becqueral (1852-1908) observed that there are certain elements which emit radiation on their own and named this phenomenon as radioactivity and the elements known as radioactive elements. This field was developed by Marie Curie, Piere Curie, Rutherford and Fredrick Soddy. It was observed that three kinds of rays i.e., α, β- and γ-rays are emitted. Rutherford found that α-rays consists of high energy particles carrying two units of positive charge and four unit of atomic mass. He concluded that α- particles are helium nuclei as when α- particles combined with two electrons yielded helium gas. β-rays are negatively charged particles similar to electrons. The γ-rays are high energy radiations like X-rays, are neutral in nature and do not consist of particles. As regards penetrating power, α-particles are the least, followed by β-rays (100 times that of α–particles) and γ-rays (1000 times of that α-particles).

What is thyroid eye disease ? thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), thyroid orbitopathy, Graves’ orbitopathy or Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) ? Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an eye condition that causes the muscles and soft tissues in and around your eye socket to swell. It usually happens when you have a problem with your thyroid gland. It may also be called thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), thyroid orbitopathy, Graves’ orbitopathy or Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). The ocular manifestation of thyroid eye diseases are manifolds. They may be present as thyrotoxicosis, lid retrac- tion, soft tissue involvement, proptosis and optic neuropathy.         The Thyrotoxicosis (Graves dis- eases)         Usually present with 3rd to 4thdecades of life, women are mostly effected than the men with involvement organ specific autoimmune disorders. Thyroid eye diseases may be present as a simple eye disco...

                Inorganic chemistry | Chemistry   Discovery of Electron                   In 1830, Michael Faraday showed that if electricity is passed through a solution of an electrolyte, chemical reactions occurred at the electrodes, which resulted in the liberation and deposition of matter at the electrodes. These results suggested the particulate nature of electricity.           In mid 1850s many scientists mainly Faraday began to study electrical discharge in partially evacuated tubes, known as cathode ray discharge tubes . A cathode ray tube is made of glass containing two thin pieces of metal, called electrodes, sealed in it. The electrical discharge through the gases could be observed only at very low pressures and at very high voltages. The pressure of different gases could be adjusted by evacuation of the glass tubes. When sufficiently high vo...

              Inorganic Chemistry |Chemistry   Discovery of Protons and Neutrons           Electrical discharge carried out in the modified cathode ray tube led to the discovery of canal rays and anode rays carrying positively charged particles. The characteristics of these positively charged particles are listed below.      (i) Unlike cathode rays, mass of positively charged particles depends upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube. These are simply the positively charged gaseous ions.       (ii) The charge to mass ratio of the particles depends on the gas from which these originate.       (iii) Some of the positively charged particles carry a multiple of the fundamental unit of electrical charge.      (iv) The behaviour of these particles in the magnetic or electrical field is opposite to that observed for electron or cathode rays. ...

                                   Kalidasa is regarded as the most sparkling star of Sanskrit literature. He is a genius poet with extraordinary poetic talent and literary power. Kalidasa has the credit to compose three dramas, namely - Abhijnanasakuntalam', 'Malavikagnimitram' and Vikramorvasiyam'.Beside these dramas ,he also created tow Mahakavyas , viz. 'Raghuvamsam' and 'Khandakavyas , viz. Meghaduta ' and 'Ritusamhara'. All his creations are very unique and heart touching. kalidasa's descriptive power is unbeatable. he describes all the the situations so lively that when someone goes through his writings, he feels as if it were happen really .          "  M an is a child of nature .Since the dawn of human civilization man has relationship with nature. "           Ancient human civilization was intimately related w...

Monetary Policy of Malaysia

-
  Monetary Policy in Malaysia             Prior to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the Malaysian ringgit was an internationalized currency, which was freely traded around the world. Just before the crisis, the Ringgit was traded RM2.50 at the dollar. Due to speculative activities, the Ringgit fell as much as RM5.00 to the dollar in matter of weeks. Bank Negara Malaysia, the nation's central banks decided to impose capital controls to prevent the outflow of the Ringgit in the open market. The Ringgit is not traded internationally, a traveller needs to declare to the central bank if taking out more than RM10,000 out of the country and the Ringgit itself was pegged at RM3.80 to the US dollar. The fixed change rate was abandoned to floating exchange rate in July 2005, hours after People's Republic of China announced the same move. At this point, the Ringgit is still not internationalized. The Ringgit continue to strengthen to 3.18 to the dollar in March 2...

Architecture and sculptures of Assam

Architecture and Sculpture Assam has a rich heritage of architecture and sculpture from ancient times. The manuscripts or inscriptions, remains of temples or shrines and old mementoes remind us the rich legacy of these art forms. The stone gate of Do-parbotia at Sonitpur is the example of oldest architecture discoveree till now. We find the es- sence of early Gupta era architecture in this gate.                         Umachal Silalipi discovered on Nilachal hills at Guwahati is the oldest inscription found till date. Many palaces or me- mentoes were built in ancient Kamrup under the auspices of various royal dynasties. Most of them got ruined with the passage of time. Among them the Siddheswari temple at Kamrup district is worthy of mention. The influence of South Indian architecture is seen in this temple.          After that...
