John William Nicholson (1911): atoms consist of small spheres<br />

of negative electricity rotating in a ring about a smaller sphere of<br />

positive electricity, the atomic nucleus. Vector sum of the<br />

accelerations of all the electrons rotating in the ring is zero. The<br />

simplest primary atoms are:<br />

Coronium Co mass 0.51282 2 electrons<br />

Hydrogen H mass 1.008 3 electrons<br />

Nebulium Nu mass 1.6281 4 electrons<br />

Protofluorine Pf mass 2.3615 5 electrons<br />

All known chemical atoms are composed of these primary atoms, e.g.<br />

Helium He = NuPf<br />

Uranium = 8{Nu 2(Pf H) 3 }4{He 2Nu 2(Pf H) 3}<br />

Nicholson found excellent agreement with measured values of atomic<br />

masses
