In June, a paper by him [in the Philosophical Magazine] appeared which contains great discoveries, perhaps his greatest as a theoretician. He reported that 'the number of corpuscles in an atom . . . is of the same order as the atomic weight of the substance'. In particular for hydrogen this number 'cannot differ much from unity'. Moreover, 'the mass of the carriers of positive electricity cannot be small compared to nm, the mass of the carriers of negative electricity'. In December of that year he received the Nobel prize 'in recognition of the great merits of this theoretical and experimental investigations on the conduction of electricity by gases.' A week thereafter he celebrated his fiftieth birthday." Pais, Inward bound, p. 186. These papers in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society contain the entire array of Thomson's theoretical and experimental concerns as they appeared in 1904-1908. [with: On the positive electrification of [alpha] rays, and the emission of slowly moving cathode rays by radio-active substances. with: Do the [gamma] rays carry a charge of negative electricity? with: On the absence of excited radio-activity due to temporary exposure to [gamma] rays. with: The rate of recombination and the size of gaseous ions. with: Some experiments on canal-strahlen. with: A theory of the widening of lines in spectra. with: On secondary rontgen radiation. with: Electrification produced by heating salts. with: On secondary rontgen radiation. with: On the theory of the rotation of the plane of polarization by solutions. with: On the ionization of gases by ultra-violet light and on the evidence as to the structure of light afforded by its electrical effects. with: The nature of [gamma] rays. with: On the velocity of secondary cathode rays from gases.], University Press, 1906; Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Vol. XIV, October 29, 1906 - May 18, 1908.

Part III. Pp. 385-396. Clean and fine. First appearance of two importent papers in the physical theories of light and the atomic structure."Sir John Herschel first noticed that sulpahte of quinine shows a blue colour when light is incident on it under certain circumstances; later it was found that many other substances, if placed in a dark room and exposed to invisible radiations beyond the viloet end of the visible spectrum, emit a bluish or greenish light. To this phenomenon the name 'flourencence' was given by Stoken in 1852 (the paper offered), in a famous paper disclosing its true nature."(Whittaker in "A History of the Theores of Aether and Electricity" Vol. I.p. 262)."However, long before the discovery of the electron made the compositeness of atoms explicit, the clearest signals that structure was called for came from spectra. Already in 1852, Stokes, in the importent memoir "On the Change of Refrangibility of Ligh" (to which Kelvin referred) had written. "In all probability...the molecular vibrations by which...light is produced are not vibrations i which the molecules move among one another, but vibrations aming the constituent parts of the molecules themselves, performed by virtue of the internal forces which hold the parts of molecules together". Please notice...at that time, the term 'molecule' often meant what we call 'atom'."(Pais in"Inward Bound", p. 175)., 1852, 0, New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1979. Classic comprehensive multidisciplinary reference text contains a critical compilation of available data for all diatomic molecules and ions known at present publication- over 900 diatomic species in all; including electronic energies, vibrational and rotational constants, and observed transitions. Extensive footnotes discuss the reliability of these data and additional detailed informationon potential energy curves, spin-coupling constants, /\-type doubling, pertubations between electronic states, hyperfine structure, rotational g factors, dipole moments, radiative lifetimes, oscillator strengths, dissociation energies and ionization potentials when available, and other aspects. Herzberg received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; both authors are world renown highly respected scientists. 716 pgs.
