Hantaro Nagaoka was born in 1865 and died in 1950. Hantaro Nagaoka was famous for creating the Saturnian model and stating that JJThomson's atom model was incorrect and that the electron was actually located outside. of the atom. The following paragraphs show and tell the life of Hantaro Nagaoka. How he became famous and how a short summary of his life. Hantaro Nagaoka was born in Omura, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan in 1865. He was a physicist and pioneer of Japanese physics during the Meiji period. The electron was actually located outside the atom. Hantaro was educated at the Department of Physics at the University of Tokyo. After graduating in 1887, he worked on magnetism with a visiting British physicist, Cargill Gilston Knott. In 1893, he traveled to Europe where he continued his work at the universities of Berlin, Munich and Vienna. He also attended, in 1900, the Premiere in Paris, where he heard the Marie Curies lecture on radioactivity which aroused his interest in atomic physics at the University of Tokyo until 1925. After his retirement, he was appointed scientist at REKON and also served as director. first president of Osaka University. In the 1900s, the physicist began to study the structure of atoms. JJ Thomson's recent discovery of the negatively charged electron implied that a neutral atom must also contain an opposite positive charge. In 1903, Thomson had suggested that the atom was a sphere of uniform positive electrification, with electrons scattered throughout it like a plum in a pudding. (Later known as the Plum Pudding model) Nagaoka rejected Thomson's model on the grounds that opposing charges are inscrutable. He proposed an alternative model in which a positively charged center...... middle of paper ......252F%252Fwww.glogster.com%252Fbadhluuchia%252Fhantaro-nagaoka%252Fg-6l8m7aiu953bmhemm5o71a0%3B350%3B467Glogster https: / /www.google.com/search?q=hantaro+nagaoka&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=24QPU9EykvGgBIz-goAI&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1365&bih=889&dpr=0.75#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc = mIBtEFdYoSQC7M%253A%3B2mnC92VQ5KSYaM% 3Bhttp %253A%252F%252Frikanet2.jst.go.jp%252Fcontents%252Fcp0270b%252Fcontents%252Fimages%252Flarge%252F034.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.glogster.com%252Fbadhluuchia%252F hantaro-nagaoka% 252Fg-6l8m7aiu953bmhemm5o71a0% 3B350 %3B467, 2 | 21| 14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantaro_Nagaoka.
