May Work

If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom.

Result

In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta.

May

The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle.

- Johannes Stark

Positive

Thus at the beginning of 1906 it seemed to be established that the emitters of the spectral series of chemical elements are their positive atomic ions.

- Johannes Stark

Atoms

The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms.

- Johannes Stark

Humanity World

By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world.
