MadSci Network: Physics |
Thank you so much for your last answer. It felt wonderful to see the interest you put into the help you offered. I am tutoring a homebound student in his 7th grade introduction to chemistry. He comes up with great questions. I am trying to apply my 50 year-old-memories of high school chemistry and my newly acquired, but limited, skills on the internet. Would you take on another of his questions? We've just studied atomic numbers and understand they correspond with the number of protons in the atom. Lance would like to know how people can count subatomic particles. How did the first scientists accomplish it and how is it done today? Thank you again, Karin.
