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
