Unexpected Classmates in Twenty Third Section

CHAPTER 110

"Tomson was born December 18, 1856, Cheetham Hill, near Manchester, England." Serysong sagot niya!

Parang hindi man lang siya nag-isip eh! May sagot kaagad siya. Tsaka kumpleto pa talaga ang answer niya!

"Edi ikaw na, okay next. When did Tomson die?"

Bahala siyang mag-isip! Talagang papahirapan ko siya.

"He died August 30, 1940, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. Thomson is buried in Westminster Abbey, near Sir Isaac Newton."

"Sa'n mo nalaman 'yan? Parang hindi ka man lang nakikinig sa discussion eh!" Reklamo ko.

"Just continue." Utos niya tsaka sumenyas.

"10 questions lang ah, tapos ako naman!" Sabi ko, tumango naman siya. "Number 3. Thomson is credited with what discovery?"

Huminga muna siya ng malalim. "Thomson is credited with the discovery of the electron, the negatively charged particle in the atom. He is known for the Thomson atomic theory."

Ang galing!

Napanganga na lang ako dahil sa deretsong sagot niya sa 'kin, hindi man lang siya nabulol dahil sa english, tapos hindi niya naman binasa 'tong hawak ko pero alam niya ang sagot!

Kung sa discussion ay hindi siya nakikinig ko kaya naman ay wala siyang matinong sagot sa mga teachers dito naman ay ang dami niyang alam. Grabe!

"Next. Wag ka ng nag-isip ng kung ano-ano d'yan. Baka ako naman ang iniisip mo. Save it. Mamaya mo na 'ko isipin." Sabi niya tsaka ngumisi.

"Asa ka!" Singhal ko sa kaniya. "Number 4. Thomson proposed a model of the atom consisting of positive and negative charges, present in equal amounts so that an atom would be electrically neutral." Sabi ko. "Name that model."

"He proposed the atom was a sphere, but the positive and negative charges were embedded within it. Thomson's model came to be called the "plum pudding model" or "chocolate chip cookie model".

"Okay." Sabi ko na lang pero ang totoo ay nagkakagulo ang mga braincells ko dahil sa mga sagot niya. "Number 5. It is the principle when a stress is applied to a chemical system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to relieve the stress."

"Easy. Le Chatelier′s Principle. Le Chatelier's principle is also known as Chatelier's principle or the equilibrium law." Sagot niya. "Do you want me to discuss something about that principle?"

"‘Wag na! Baka abutin tayo ng siyam-siyam dito tapos hindi ka pa tapos. Number 6 na. Name the three parts of an atom."

"The three parts of an atom are protons and neutrons, which form the nucleus, and electrons, which orbit the nucleus."

Edi ikaw na! Ikaw na magaling. May Tinatago ka palang talino, bakit hindi mo pinapakita?

"Okay. Number 7. What are the basis of atoms?"

"Protons."

"Number 8. He was the first man to split an atom, transmuting one element into another."

"Ernest Rutherford, he was born in August 30, 1871, Spring Grove, New Zealand."

"Number 9. Kailan siya namatay?" Tanong ko dahil sa sumusobra na siya sa kaka-english! Malapit ng dumugo ang ilong ko.

Tumawa pa muna siya saglit bago sumagot. "He died October 19, 1937, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England." Nakangising sagot niya. "Hindi mo 'ko maiisahan." Dagdag niya pa!

Kainis naman 'to!

"Last na nga! Number 10. Rutherford and Frederick Soddy formulated the blank."

"They formulated  the  laws of radioactive decay and described the disintegration theory of atoms."

"In what year?"

"In 1903."

"Give me some some example that Ernest Rutherford Claims To Fame." Taas noong sabi ko. "Tatlong example, kapag hindi mo 'ko nasagot, pipitikin ko ang noo mo!"

"Tsk. He discovered alpha and beta particles."

One...

"...He coined the terms alpha, beta, and gamma rays."

Two...

"...He demonstrated radioactivity was the spontaneous disintegration of atoms."

Three!

Shet! Ang galing niya! Pa'no niya namemorize ang mga 'yon? Kahit yata ang utak ko ay hindi kayang tandaan ang mga salitang 'yon eh!

"Your turn." Sabi niya tsaka sumunggab sa mukha ko kaya naman napaatras ko ang ulo ko. "You asked more than 10 questions so I'll asked you MORE THAN 10 questions."

"Anong more than ka d'yan?"

"Yes. You asked 14 questions!"

"Hindi ah! 10 lang yun, follow up lang yung panghuling mga ka—!"

Nagulat ako ng hawakan niya ang magkabila kong pisngi.

"Papayag o hahalikan kita?"
