Through the British Association, Thomson and his associates offered a powerful rival reform program to that of metropolitan scientific naturalists (including T. H. Huxley and John Tyndall) who promoted a professionalized science, free from the perceived shackles of Christianity and grounded on...

In spite of the excitement the race to transmutation had spurred in the worlds of chemistry and occult alchemy, the crash came in 1914. The prestige and identity transmutation efforts had conferred upon chemistry were called into question—by physicists. Criticism had already come heavily from physicists such as J. J. Thomson, who debunked some of the experiments following the announcement of the Chemical Society meeting in February 1913, as well as from Rutherford, Royds, and Robert John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh). Even sympathetic chemists such as Madame Curie had been unable to reproduce Ramsay s results. Ramsay s own student and research partner, Egerton, could not successfully repeat the experiments when he went to work in a lab in Berlin. 

Strutt was the fourth Baron Rayleigh, son of John William Strutt, the third Baron Rayleigh, with whom Ramsay had collaborated on the discovery of argon. He, like Thomson, ran independent experiments that undermined Ramsay, Collie, and Patterson s results ... 

In his 1933 paper on "tautomerism," Ingold began discussion with references to the physics of the electron, citing a 1923 paper by J. J. Thomson and a recent book by John H. Van Vleck.62 He noted Lewis s contributions (1923) to the notion of inductive effect ( ) in which electrons remain bound by their original atomic nuclei Lowry (1923) to the notion of electromeric effect, in which there is a displacement of a duplet, shifting from one pair of atoms to...

In 1897, Dalton s idea of an indivisible atom was shattered with a startling announcement. A British scientist, Joseph John Thomson, had discovered the existence of a negatively charged particle with mass less than that of a hydrogen atom. This particle was, of course, the electron. 

His full name was Joseph John Thomson, but everyone called him J.J. ...

In 1813 Hatchett published in the Annals of Philosophy a method of separating iron and manganese (31). This paper was in the form of a letter to Thomas Thomson, the editor, and was dated Mount Clare, Roehampton, Sept. 25, 1813. A. F. Gehlen had used succinic acid to separate these two metals, Professor J. F. John had used oxalic add, but Hatchett simply precipitated the ferric hydroxide from a neutral solution containing ammonium chloride, leaving the manganese in solution. 

According to J. J. Thomson, Lord Rutherford s death on October 19, 1937, just on the eve of his having in the High-Tension Laboratory means of research far more powerful than those with which he had already obtained results of profound importance, is, I think, one of the greatest tragedies in the history of Science (101, 102). Lord Rutherford was the first scientist born in the overseas dominions to be buried in Westminster Abbey, beside the graves of Sir Isaac Newton, Lord Kelvin, Charles Darwin, and Sir John Herschel. 

Joseph John Thomson was appointed head of the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory (endowed by the Cavendish family in honor of Heniy Cavendish) at the age of 28.
