Happy birthday to the electron! ⚛️

#OTD in 1897, Joseph J Thomson announced his identification of the electron — the first subatomic particle to be discovered.

Today in Chemistry History infographic on the discovery of the electron in 1897 by Sir Joseph J Thomson. Thomson discovered the electron, found the first evidence for isotopes of stable elements, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics for ‘investigations on the conduction of electricity by gases’. An annotated diagram of the cathode ray apparatus Thomson used to discover the electron is shown. The rays were deflected by an electric field. Comparing this with how much they were deflected by a magnetic field, he deduced that cathode rays were made of negatively charged particles, which he termed ‘corpuscles’. The discovery led to his ‘plum pudding’ model of the atom, with electrons scattered throughout a cloud of positive charge.

This ain’t no regular H2O, but the Orzone kind. #realtimechem #chemsky

My daughter messaged me after her chem class the other day and asked if i could do a cartoon about Trump and Musk as isomers. Dear followers, inspired by Amelia i present to you, unconstitutional arsomers.

*insert applause here*

#chemsky

Two isomers of hexane are shown - 2,2-dimethyl butane and 2,3-dimethyl butane. They are labelled as constitutional isomers.

Cartoon showing 2 x arsole molecules. The first looks like elon and is doing a nazi salute. It has a methyl group at the 3-position. The second arsole has a red tie, is gesticulating, is orange with a big combover. Face set with a scowel. It has a methl group at the 2-position. They are labelled as unconstitutional arsomers.

There you have it. I am hopeful it makes a return.

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War.

Same link, new title and some updates.
