EltronBKP/ElectronE

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

	He next turned his attention to how the positive and negative
charges are distributed in an atom. He favoured the idea that the positive
charge was uniformly distributed over the volume of the atom, with the
negative corpuscles somehow embedded inside. This was his famous "plum
pudding" model of the atom. It should be possible to calculate the stable
positions of the corpuscles within such an atom by mathematical methods
alone. However these calculations become extremely complex when there is
more than one corpuscle present, and without the aid of modern computers
Thomson had to resort to a two-dimensional mechanical model.
	As it happened, a suitable model had already been devised by
Professor Mayer, though presumably for different purposes. The model
consisted of a number of identical magnets attached to corks floating on a
dish of water. A large electromagnet was held above the centre of the
dish, so that the magnets would be attracted to the centre but repelled
from each other just like the corpuscles in an atom. With one magnet in
the dish, it would of course come to rest in the centre. With between two
and five magnets, they would spread themselves into a circle around the
electromagnet. However, with more than five magnets Mayer found that a
single circle was not a stable arrangement. Instead the magnets would form
into concentric rings. For example ten magnets would arrange themselves
into an inner ring of three and an outer ring of seven. Thomson showed
considerable insight in suggesting that the corpuscles inside an atom
might follow a similar pattern. He correctly pointed out that each new
ring in Mayer's sequence might represent a row in the Periodic Table. Then
the number of corpuscles in the outer ring would determine the main
chemical properties of the element, and which "group" or column of the
Table it belonged to. This explanation of periodicity is not far removed
from the that of the modern quantum mechanical atom.
	Ironically, Professor Mayer's model was closer to the true
structure of the atom than Thomson's own idea. The positive charge
represented by the electromagnet is all concentrated at the centre of
Mayer's dish like the nucleus of an atom, while Thomson believed it should
be distributed all over the atom. It is doubtful that this made the
results any more realistic however, as the model was still only
two-dimensional.
	Not everybody believed Thomson's revolutionary conclusions
immediately. Indeed he says in his Recollections and Reflections that one
distinguished physicist present at the Royal Institution thought Thomson
had been "pulling their legs". Most German physicists continued to believe
that cathode rays were waves, at least for a few months. Kaufmann for
example said that the constant value of m/e supported the aether theory,
for it showed that the rays were not part of the material in the tube.
However it was still Thomson's work
