TLDRWorlds Within Worlds: The Story of Nuclear Energy, Volume 1 (of 3), by Isaac Asimov is part of HackerNoon’s Book Blog Post series. Volume I, ELECTRICITY: The Structure of the Atom. The Structure. of the atom is based on the structure of radioactive atoms, such as those of uranium and thorium, which gave off positively charged alpha particles. Many atoms, however, that were not radioactive, could be made to give off electrons. In 1899 Thomson showed that certain perfectly normal metals with no trace of radioactivity gave off electrons when exposed to ultraviolet light.via the TL;DR App
