question:
A paper he wrote about the geometrical representation of a certain kind of property by means of surfaces so excited Maxwell that he made a model illustrating the method. During the early 1880s, this man worked on a modification of the quaternion which he thought could be adapted into a new system of vector analysis, but it had little impact. He developed an "electrical theory of light" which presumed that light is a disturbance propagating through relatively fine-grained media, while his last work was a treatise on Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics which he completed a year before his death in 1903. His greatest discovery was popularized by the Dutch scientist who experimentally confirmed it, Hendrik Roozeboom. His most famous work was translated by Le Chatelier and Ostwald, and established a basis for the theory of the thermodynamic properties of heterogenous substances. FTP, name this founder of physical chemistry, an American scientist known for his namesake phase rule.
answer:
Science

question:
The electron dipole moment of this particle is at most three times ten to the negative 26th, and would violate CPT-symmetry if it is non-zero. This particle has a half-life of 881 seconds, and can break up into a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino via beta decay. This particle is composed of one (*) up and two down quarks, and nuclear fission is initiated by the bombardment of this particle. The number of this particle dictates what isotope an atom is, and they have mass roughly equal to that of a proton. James Chadwick discovered, for ten points, what particle found in the nucleus, which, as its name suggests, has a net charge of zero
answer:
Science

question:
In 1953 he founded his country's Liberal Party, which was banned in 1968 by the Prohibition of Political Interference Bill. His lesser-known works include a study of his friends Jan Hofmeyr and the archbishop Geoffery Clayton, For Your Departed. He published a book of short stories, Tales from a Troubled Land, and a novel containing real life characters like Albert Lutuli entitled Ah, But your Land if Beautiful. However, neither those works, nor his second novel about Peter van Vlaanderen, Too Late the Phalarope, could match the popularity of his first work. FTP, name this South African novelist, who wrote of the preacher Stephen Kumalo in Cry, the Beloved Country.
