The classical atom - FRIEDMAN F.L. , SARTORI L.

KORTE INHOUD

Paperback, in-8, 118 pp., index.

classical physics, providing a detailed historical and theoretical framework for understanding atomic models prior to the advent of quantum mechanics. The classical atom refers to the early models of the atom, such as those proposed by scientists like Rutherford, Bohr, and others, which attempted to explain atomic structure using classical physics principles (e.g., electromagnetic theory and Newtonian mechanics).

In these models, atoms were envisioned as tiny, hard, indivisible particles, or as systems with electrons orbiting a nucleus, like miniature solar systems. These models, while groundbreaking at the time, were eventually superseded by quantum mechanics, which explained atomic behavior more accurately.

The book likely explores these early models, their strengths and weaknesses, and the transitions that led to modern atomic theory, offering insights into both the scientific developments and the intellectual debates surrounding atomic theory.
