Why Does Atom Act That Way: Badgley Explains (Continued from Page 1 to the fractional atomic weights. Same as Mass In 1932 Chadwick discovered the neutron and Neils Bohr's ori ginal atom model was now made up of protons (hydrogen nuclei) neutrons and electrons. Let us now build a simple atom and see what happens. Two protons plus two neutrons shuld give us an. alpha particle on helium nucleus. But when we add up the masses of the protons and neutrons we find that it is not the same as the mass of the alpha particle. What has happen ed to part of this mass? How could it disappear and what did it become? It was Einstein who gave, us, from his relativity theory, the concept of the equivalence of mass and energy. From his equa tion E-mc2 he showed that one gram of mass was equal to 25 million kilowatt hours, This was sensational to say the least. Here was evidence that energy could be obtained from the annihilation of matter. Much Energy Just think of the wonderful possibilities. If we burn one gram of coal we obtain about one, one hundredth of a kilowatt hour. But if we annihilate on gram of coal or one gram of anytihng, for that matter, we obtain 25 million kilowatt hours or enough energy to run . the city of' La Grande for about two years and two months. But let's get back to this atom bomb business. It is a great sec ret but so far as we know it is not based on the annihilation of matter but upon another great source of energy, the disintegra tion of the atom. E. O. Lawrence and others with the cyclotron have been break ing up the atom now for some time. In 1937 Enrico Fermi showed that it could be broken up by bombarding it with slow speed neutrons. In 1939 Uranium atomic weight 235 was broken up into xenon and strontium (the process is called fission) with the release of enormous eneigy. As each uran ium atom breaks up it gives off a neutron which can in turn break up another uranium atom and this goes on. until all the uranium is destroyed. Possibly the atomic bomb is Uranium 235. Who knows until Uncle Sam de cides to tell? Anyway, I'm glad J. m on our side. Social Calendar FRIDAY 1:30 p. m. Jolly Janes club with Mrs. J. L Comstock, 2007 Spruce street. 2 p. m.
