 * __ Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen[[image:http://www2.hkedcity.net/sch_files/a/tcs/tcs-phy/public_html/images/roentgen.jpg width="281" height="218" align="right"]] __

Wilhelm had some trouble in school and it was not with academics, he was exelled from school for not giving information to teachers about another student. After he was expelled from school no other school would except him ecause of his past. So, he was not able to go to school again till college where he got his PH degree in engineering. He then went on to be a professor for agriculture. In Wilhelm's studies he discovered the topic of X-Rays which is used over over the world today in almost every medical institution. For his studies in the x-ray field he was awarded a Noble Peace Prize in 1901 adn he donated all of the money that he recieved from the prize back to his university. This shows the character that Roentgen had and he is a well renowned chemist today.**
 * Wilhelm Roentgen was from Rhenish, Prussia and was a only child to a middle class family.




 * This is one of the first X-Ray pictures ever and it was a picture taken of Roentgen's wife's hand. **

(1856-1940)**
 * __ JJ Thomson __

His heritage is Scotish and decided to study engineering in college. For college he came across to New England and went to Trinity College in Boston, Massachusetts. After Trinity he got into teacher like most famous scientist and one of his students was Earnest Rutherford. This shows the intelligence of Thomson because of the reputation of Rutherford. Through Thomson's studied he was awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 1906 and also his son won the award in 1937. JJ Thomson won his Noble Peace Prize for his studies on the conduction of electricity in gases. Thomson is credited with the discovery of electrons and isotopes. With his discovery of electrons Thomson tried to determine the number of electrons in an atom. Thomson worked as a master at Trinity College until his death in 1940. Thomson is very interesting because most of his studies were done close to Massachusetts Maritime.**
 * JJ Thomson was British physicist born in Cheetham Hill, Manchester in the country of England.

(1852-1908)
 * __ Henri Becquerel[[image:http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/physics/links/becquerel.jpg width="268" height="241" align="right"]] __

Henri Becquerel was born in Paris, France and he was born into a very scientific family. He was Roman Catholic and a fourth generation scientist. Early in his career he gained rank in his home town becoming the chief engineering for bridges and highways. This coming after his studies in engineering at a French college. After college he was interested by Roentgen studies and in the reviews of Roentgen's work he discovered radioactivity. He studied radioactivity by seeing how the radioactivity passed through paper and other materials of that sort. Because of this discovery he was award a Noble Peace Prize in 1903 and also had a SI unit named after him (Bq). One other fun fact about Henri is there is a crater on the moon as well as mars named after him Becquerel. His studies were a phenonmon and still are today.**

This is a model of Becquerel and this model has to do with Radioactive material and the charges that it emits.
