Michael Faraday · Science
Faraday’s laws of electrolysis - chemical change is exactly proportional to the electricity passed - together with the vocabulary he coined (electrode, ion, anode, cathode) and his proof that there is only <em>one</em> electricity, whatever its source.
You learned Faraday’s two laws of electrolysis (chemical change proportional to charge, and to equivalent weight), the theory-neutral vocabulary he coined with Whewell, and his proof of the identity of electricities from all sources. Explain these and why they pointed toward an atom of electricity.
Leads to Francis Bacon.
